Red Throated Divers on Truggles Water
When I got up in the morning there were 5 Red Throated Divers (or Loons as they seem to have been re-named) outside my tent. They were very inquisitive and stayed reasonably close even when I was in plain view. They were joined by more until there were 10 of them at this small loch. If the Viking Energy windfarm development of 104 giant turbines goes ahead they will have to run the gauntlet of the 8 turbines within a kilometere of this small loch.
