Wood Sandpipers at Kinnordy, click here for HD video (you may need to select the HD option)
Little Ringed Plover, also HD but a very small bird!
The photo deceives, this Adder seen in Glen Lethnot was only 10 to 12 inches long and not much thicker than a pencil
One of many Black Grouse I saw in different glens this week. This one flew from a field by a roadside which had been sheep forage
Common Sandpiper upstream of Hunthill, Glen Lethnot
At least four Cuckoos calling in Glen Prosen and although this one flew high over my head as usual it was into the sun. The other one I saw always had a tree or the like in the way
I just missed the second birth by minutes. Mum and babies doing well!
I'm not seeing any apparent decrease in Lapwings but we'll find out soon enough
Very red, Red Grouse in the harsh sun
Song Thrush in Prosen
Stonechat male with the female nearby on the wires in Glen Lethnot
Tree Pipit in Prosen, the only one I saw and heard
On my way home down Lethnot I saw this Whinchat flying along the wires and took this photo from the car. It's only the second one I've seen and the original one I saw on April 24th couldn't be found again, different glen
Willow Warbler
There were two Wood Sandpipers at Kinnordy which Gus had found the previous evening
The male Marsh Harrier was showing well for birdwatchers, the photographers were still moaning
One of the visiting Ospreys at Kinnordy, complete with a Jack Pike
Still Pink-footed Geese at Kinnordy
Dunnock in my garden, it's where I spend the end of days..........
Still six Greenfinches coming in. I bought a shutter remote this week and this was one of the first photos
Sparrows deserve a mention too, also using the remote
As do the very colourful male Feral Pigeons which constantly display, court and more
