    The last two pictures show why the fox was hanging around, the Swans were on a wee dry patch on the loch, they just slipped into the water and stayed around 20 feet away when they saw him but had Mr fox in their sight the whole time.

    Thanks John, i got a few pics of a black headed gull fishing and feeding it's chicks, i'll post some later, saw the Fox yesterday and this morning but didn't get good pics, he really is a lovely creature, it's been a fantastic week for sightings in a place i'd nearly gave up on on account of it being so quiet.

    Another few from midweek, no sign of the Otter this morning, i did see the fox briefly but he was heading away from where i was perched, it was a beautiful calm sunny morning this morning and the loch had a bit of activity on it, i saw Herons, half a dozen noisy bickering Egrets, a lone Tufted Duck, Little grebe, Black headed Gulls feeding their loudly squawking young, a pair of Cormorants and Mr fox' tail end.
