Dreich, wind and rain...........

Reduced to hiding from the weather I haven't seen anything of any interest other than these visitors to the ADBC Hide at Montreathmont, and even they were hiding from the rain when it was at its worst. We'd went for another look for the Great Grey Shrike but it's a big forest and a wee bird. Some of these photos required an iso of 4000 and the birds were only feet away. Might use a flash next time but since the D500 doesn't have one built in that will be difficult!

Chaffinch

Coal Tit

Not often a Dunnock feeds on the table

An unusually shy Robin, perhaps with reason as a male Sparrowhawk had a go at it under the table but failed

The first Siskin I've seen at the hide this winter

Three of twenty Common Scoter off the rock armour at Barry Buddon where the sea has cast debris and lots of plastic over the armour on to the path behind it. They were fell far oot!

Dawn or near aboot at Buddon Ness

Dreich with a little sunlight which lasted seconds....

The gap between the two gates at Lunan leads along the fence line to the ADBC Hide. Don't climb over any of the fences, this access is the best route
