Birdwatching at the Mouth of the River Leven

Just where the River Leven flows into the Forth, there is a large carpark opposite the old disused Methil Power station, and this is a good spot to see gulls and other seabirds. It was a very dull gey day today, so the pictures look black and white.

A group of golden eye, the males are striking, black and white with a bright white spot near the eye. The females are duller.


Another group of golden eye, male and female.

There are nearly always three swans at this point and here they are swimming up-stream.
