Loch Ruthven - May 2010

... is a peaceful Scottish loch and RSPB reserve about 25 km south-west of Inverness.


Loch Ruthven
 My visit there in May was primarily to try to see these fantastic birds...


Slavonian Grebe
 The Grebes are easily watched from the hide on the banks of the loch. At one point a pair came fairly close - bobbing up and down on the water not too far from the hide. I couldn't resist trying to get a little video of them, with the sun on their russet and gold plumage ...


Truly stunning birds.
