Video catch-up - Flickr now behaving

Now that Flickr has got their act together, here's some video I've now managed to upload. Better conversion than YouTube but still not as good as the originals.


Great Crested Grebes, Forfar Loch, click here for video  maybe dancing at the weekend?

Green Sandpiper still at Murton, click here for a chase!  halfway through it flies and is then chased by a Redshank

Green Sandpiper at 104 zoom, click here, (short video)

Teal, immediately in front of the Gullery Hide, Kinnordy

Yellowhammer pair, through double glazing and chicken mesh

Roe buck at Kinnordy, losing its velvet

Close up of one of my Greenfinches

Another dull day Little Egret video, fishing (120 seconds)

Might have posted this Brambling before?

Harriers and Hybrids

Some on a dull day, some in the sun and most in a wind that makes handheld photography a challenge. I need my Sherpa to step up and carry my tripod!

Gadwall courtship and mating, Kinnordy, click here for video

Slow motion video of the hybrid duck below, click here

Marsh Harrier, collecting nest material, click here for video


Pochard drake and Tufted duck hybrid at Balgavies Loch. I thought it was a Scaup at first and was busy trying to get some video when Barry pointed out it was a hybrid. I should have known as I've seen the same version before and I'd suggested to Colin it could be. I jumped the gun!


At the car park at Forfar Loch, male Bullfinch


One of the pesky Feral Pigeons who daily try to get at the fallen seed from the messy Sparrows at my feeder. The seed drops into a 50mm mesh cage so they can't get at it


Fly past at Kinnordy


Cock Pheasant, Kinnordy


Teal drake, Kinnordy


Teal duck


Toads at the Lily Pond, Kinnordy


Male Marsh Harrier with some nest material, very far away








This Roe buck at Kinnordy is just beginning to lose its velvet from the antlers





Wigeon drake


Beaver at work


This Carrion Crow was berating a dog at Forfar Loch, constantly calling from the nearest and safest tree


Again, the dog's gone


At least six Great Crested Grebes just now at Forfar Loch


One of these two photos is from the Canon SX60, I'm surprised


Always calling from a conifer nearby at Forfar Loch. Magpies appear all of the way around the loch now


Goosander


It's the time of year when Dunnocks lose their fear and start singing from the small trees and bushes


Still a few Tree Sparrows visiting my garden despite the constant and recurring Sparrowhawk


One of Olive's daffs
