Male Cormorant taken through the brush on the lochside at Forfar Loch
Many Dunnocks singing from leafless bushes at Forfar and elsewhere just now
Even the Woodpigeons use the viewing platform but even this one couldn't see anything other than a single Great Crested Grebe and a few Mallards and yet if the sun comes (it didn't) things would burst into action
Under the feeder near the Yacht Club
At Monikie even the ducks use the feeders
10 minutes at Keptie Pond before another shower was unusually productive, probably as it was so cold nobody was about to spook the wildlife
This hybrid/domestic/? which I've blogged before looks to have paired with a drake Mallard and will no doubt produce some Heinz offspring
Blackbirds are getting very approachable as spring progresses, it is spring isn't it
Not the first frog spawn I've seen, some appeared in my pond a few days ago. This usually sees an onslaught on the frogs by the Goosanders at Keptie Pond, fortunately only two remained on Friday
Only three Purple Sandpipers left at Inchcape on Thursday
This Iceland Gull is becoming more bold and I swear it was following me about at Victoria Park on Thursday. Eventually I broke up some of a sandwich I had left as a reward for its behaviour, hence the many photos
I had been looking along the beach when the Iceland flew past me but I didn't expect it would land only 7 metres away then stay for some photos
This is a resize of the full frame photo, if I gone any closer it wouldn't fit in. I'd guess I was only 5 metres away
It's reward and as it's so unwary it got the lot to itself
