Huttonian is not greatly into birds except those rather pretty ones which the wife feeds on the patio and occasionally get carried off by marauding kestrels. But a walk along the Tweed can throw up some attractive sights for the keen ornothologist. Good place is to turn east at the English Scottish Border on the south bank past Paxton House and head deeper into England. It was heartening to see so many Lapwing -said to be endangered and several unidentified floaters-the two geese may be a domestic variety out on an away day cheap return. Click the images to enlarge. Anyone who can identify the ducks, please keep it to themselves. I am interested but not that interested. Thanks.  ¶ 1:40 AM
