Sandhill Crane - Loch of Strathbeg

It’s not often we do a big twitch these days but yesterday’s call of the Sandhill Crane up in Scotland at the RSPB’s Loch of Strathbeg was just too strong for Wayne to resist.  So with Karen and Simon we left at midnight to reach the Crane at 7.00 just in time to see it leaving its roost and heading off to feed in surrounding fields.  It definitely gave us the run around but thanks to the three RSPB ladies constantly using their local knowledge to keep a track of it and then communicating updates to visitors we were never far behind it.
