Moors Murderers - RSPB Report


As predicted and I'm giving it prime coverage here. Raptor Persecution quadruples during lockdown, nae surprise there then, click here to read RSPB Post


"On exercise" on the cliff path near Auchmithie, and being marched along by my personal trainer.....so as not to breach the roools! 

I had another video, 54 consecutive trail camera clips of my visiting and lactating Vixen. It's below, cropped to 9 minutes.

Whitethroat, distant in a blowy wind


A very accomodating Yellowhammer



A bit of "three's a crowd" here as the nearest Guillemot was made persona non grata


Thought this was a useful comparison between the Razorbill and Guillemot


Four Puffins were together about 60 metres offshore


Razorbills making new Razorbills


Shag, white ring IUP. One of 27 seen and with a group of 24 as seen below

Wild Bird Cover near the Gaylet Pot, is it the start of a new screen of trees to shelter even more tunnels, hopefully it's a forward looking farmer, which was my first thought. The farm is one in the Corn Bunting Project and should be applauded.


The tree screen at Castlesea Gulley


A new path being built from the Old Schoolhouse in Auchmithie to the Beacon in the distance



Another new path leading from the track between the Old Schoolhouse and Seahills (formerly Windyhills) to between the Coastguards Houses and Castlesea Gulley


Looking south towards Arbroath (and Fife) from Lud Castle
