Wednesday wildlife – early morning expedition

Wednesday, November 16, 2022 (7:45 AM)

This week’s pictures from around the lochs by site director Nick Card.

A companion on an early morning dog walk between the lochs.

Flyby against the hills of Hoy.

Golden plovers take flight having been spooked by a hen harrier.

Keeping a close eye on the photographer as he glides by.

Large flock of golden plovers.

Mallards gathering on the shore.

Showing a fine set of teeth as this otter devours his breakfast.

Heron reflected in a still loch as it comes in to land.
