Loch O The Lowes

TheTamshee: enjoys a walk around the Loch O The Lowes at the head of St Mary's Loch. This winter scene has been taken from below the bridge leading to Tibbie's Hotel

Waxwing @ Inchgarth

TheTamshee's: good lady captures this exotic-looking, scarce winter migrant who gets it's name from the curiously shaped secondary feathers on it's wings which look like pieces of red wax. Not common in our border garden but well worth a stop over to gorge on their choosen berry, which has been in abundance at Inchgarth this year.
