This video has been forwarded to the Gurn by Peter McIntosh. His wife filmed the clip. He would be interested to know if anyone else in Nairn spotted any more of these birds.
Peter believes some were released in Southern Scotland but has no idea what this bird doing up here. Peter lives close to the Newton Woods. He says that the clip is a bit grainy on youtube, for some reason, which is a shame as his colouring is quite striking.

Well done for filming such a bonnie bird. Lets hope it's got a mate and is nesting locally.
