Avian Flu, Bees and a White Pudding Supper

Some photos from my Webs at East Haven, Murton NR, my garden, and Danger Point, Arbroath. (near The Golden Haddock Chip shop)

Insect ID aided by the ObsIdentify App.



A dead Eider drake on the beach at East Haven seen when I did my Webs. It was in good physical condition, so I'm assuming it died of avian flu, which is still around


Bar-tailed Godwit with two Redshanks, I later counted eight Bar-tailed


First Swallow of the year, with a few others and Sand Martins at Craigmill mouth


I thought this male Sparrowhawk had gone after I didn't see it in my garden for weeks. First seen back in October and regularly since, it seems!

Male Lesser Redpoll at Murton NR. Subspecies soon to be combined as Redpoll


Gadwall pair at Murton


Pheasant showing signs of fighting


Dark-edged Bee Fly at Murton, it wouldn't turn around...


Early Bumblebee in my garden


At least 5 Rooks now pillaging my fat ball feeders


A pair of Starlings spent a lot of time near my Swift nest, I hope they haven't used it, as the Swifts will be back soon
