Spotted Sandpiper, White-winged Scoter and a late Reed Warbler


Winter is near and light levels are already low, so I've already opted for video, partly due to having to carry too much kit and recently because of distance to subjects.

From the top, places are Cameron Reservoir near St Andrews, Morton Lochs (Fife), Lunan Bay at Corbie Knowe, Murton and Monikie. A Scaup juvenile and a drake Pochard at Monikie couldn't be filmed due to distance, and both were feeding/preening.

Click the blue text to view videos hosted on my Flickr in UHD quality (quality depending on distance, wind and light). In the Lunan clips the birds would be 400 to 500 metres offshore. The others benefitted from sunshine, and were all much closer when filmed.
