Another video of perhaps the same Corn Bunting as before, but closer, click here for video
An unexpected Whimbrel from the Lurgies, looking across to the Shelduck Hides
Just too far for my technology and skill
It took to flight as I was photographing a passing Osprey, it looked to have landed at the back of Miss Erskine's Bank
The passing Osprey, it didn't fish at almost high tide with a good going ripple on the surface of the water
While finishing my second Corn Bunting survey on a local farm I saw this Yellowhammer land on the sign and couldn't resist a photo with my Canon SX60 which I carry to help ID of birds seen into the early morning sunlight, at 0600hrs
A Mute Swan pair at Kinnordy with seven cygnets, in comparison to the Keptie Pond birds their breeding success is double or more the Keptie pair average and you'd think they'd have a food and predator advantage. Maybe all the bread affects fertility?
The House Martin nest on my neighbours gable
The adults were coming in about every two minutes to feed the three chicks
This Starling was having a good attempt to eat all of the fat balls
An unusual pose from one of those pesky pigeons
Now six adult Goldfinches have been seen at the same time in my garden but still no chicks and one pair keeps attending their apple tree nest
An adult Greenfinch, and now I've seen three chicks together under a feeder begging for food
Not only plastic (ish) pollution from McDonalds but another waste of precious Helium which surely has to be kept for important uses since we don't have an infinite supply. I recall a Horizon program saying all of our Helium comes, or came from space, and we waste it to sell happy meals.....
A close shot of a Lesser Black-backed Gull
And now the slightly weird and arty shot taken from my garden as was the ballon above. A neighbours grandchild was being entertained with soapy bubbles so my challenge was to get a photo however far away they were, or how small. Honest there is a bubble direct centre of the photo
