The photos below look too bright on my PC so it's likely I'll be back to this later to sort it out. I downloaded a calibration disk for my monitor and graphics card set up and like the look of the screen. Just looked on my phone and the photos look Ok but I have a black theme on Chrome so it might affect what I'm seeing.
A quote from an article I read recently.... a new post with photos tonight, Saturday
"it is astonishing, in the 21st Century, that people are still allowed to burn mountainsides – destroying their vegetation, roasting their wildlife, vapourising their carbon, creating a telluric eczema of sepia and grey blotches – for any purpose, let alone blasting highland chickens out of the air.
Little Grebe in the old harbour
Osprey at the Lurgies, Montrose Basin
Red-breasted Merganser, I'd sneaked along behind the sea wall only for someone to walk along the top just as I got ready to get my photo!
Shelduck, at least 300 seen through my scope from Maryton Ditch
Still a few pairs of Teal around
A big surprise when I saw these Whooper Swans. Most Whoopers are already in their breeding grounds with cygnets. Two birds are ringed with yellow rings, ZAN and ZAH, I'll post details if I get their history later. It seems these are the young of a pair that bred somewhere in England, noted her and at St Cyrus (I think)
Fox and Cubs with unknown beetle species, I'll search for the answer soon. This and the next photos are from Murton
This time it's the flower that's unidentified
Cinnabar Moth, lots of them at the eastward pond
Small Copper butterfly at one of my Corn Bunting farms
All of those below are in or around my garden. Anyone might think I'm a gardener, but I just sit there and try to photograph House Martins and Swifts. As you can see below, with no success
Unusual to see a Lesser Black-backed Gull where I live, this one is even on my roof
The Blue Tits won't nest in my garden, but they'll eat my food!
Flushed by the twitchy feral pigeons
One of the blasted pigeons
Nearly a good photo
Un-named moth on Olive's door
Started off this week with one of these young Starlings. yesreday there were around fifty
Two pairs of Yellowhammers recorded most days. Often still feeding near to dusk
A few of a larger group which flew off when I picked up the camera from the boot of the car
