Kestrel and Long-tailed Ducks at Lunan Bay

Back to "normal birds" today with a short trip to Lunan Bay and apart from gulls and some Yellowhammers only a Buzzard, this Kestrel, Long-tailed Ducks and a Red-throated was all I saw. The view was near Friockheim and looks like someone is being beamed up!





Slavonian Grebes, one at Clatto the other at Piper Dam

The stormy weather and seas have driven some of the winter ducks and grebes inland just now and Slavonian Grebes at Clatto and Piper Dam are one of the results. The top photo is from Clatto and the other two Piper Dam, the bird there was fishing in the shallows and getting sticklebacks easily.

Little and Large at Glamis

I went to Glamis looking for Lesser Redpoll which had been reported on Sunday and while looking for them came across a White-tailed Eagle being escorted from the area by a small flock of crows. Note the size comparison between the Crow and the Eagle which helps confirm the sighting.
