Twite and June 2017

Twite, Whoopers and some photos from June 2017 to brighten up the January mood.

Spoonbill in June at the Lurgies (long version), click here for HD video


Some of a count which totalled 127 Twite either sitting on the wires or at the feeding station on the way to the hides at Mains of Dun


Whooper Swans seen on the way back from the Shelduck Hide. I wonder if they've returned to the coast due to the freezing of the inland waters


A Greenfinch through the double glazing, looks like they'll be on the Red List soon. I've managed to attract and keep six birds coming to a front garden feeder and am considering another at the rear to see if they'll move away from the street where they get disturbed often


Remember when it was summer, (I nearly wrote warm) and Spoonbills were at the Basin


They even danced, this one was preening then leaping up onto the air to dry


A Common Tern at Ferryden on it's way out to sea to fish


There's only one cygnet still around at Carnoustie Golf links. I can't say if all of these six made it but am reasonably confident that four did


It wouldn't be summer without a Puffin photo
