    Birding at Loch of Kinnordy

    Great photos. I can now see why people have cameras and something I would love to try. Only problem is I'm in the market for a new piece of willow this season and the wife has said I can't have both :(.

    Birding at Loch of Kinnordy

    There was a board saying the footpath to the East Hide was closed so I didn't dare take it especially with the Police present.

    Birding at Loch of Kinnordy

    Had my first ever visit to Loch of Kinnordy this morning and upon arrival at the carpark was met by Police Scotland’s Marine Unit who were having a morning out on the water. This was especially funny since I have recently been watching the TV series ‘Annika’ and was half hoping Nicola Walker to...

    Birds fae Torry

    Finally managed to get my first proper walk around St Fittick’s yesterday morning – a lovely sunny morning yet cold. The odd Curlew flying over the playpark then I’m pretty sure I saw a Jay fly over as well. As a kid growing up in Watford they were so common but up here in the NE I think this is...

    Good birds seen from restaurants

    As a newbie I'm excited to see anything not seen before. While visiting my daughter in Anniesland, Glasgow at the weekend and staying at the Pond Hotel (just by Gartnavel Hospital, Great Western Road) noticed a male and female Goosander at the edge of the pond right by the hotel carpark along...

    Andy Strachan, Not sure what I am more jealous of - the Sparrowhawk in your garden or your fence still standing after the recent storms 🤣. GB

    Newbie-friendly birdwatching resources?

    Like you I too am returning to bird watching. When we joined the RSPB last year we also purchased their book on British Birds which we like. Last Christmas the kids bought me the WildGuides 'Britain's Birds' book by Rob Hume et al which I am loving. As for apps I have the Collins Bird Guide...

    St Cyrus NNR & Kinnaber Links

    Megasyrphus, thanks for the reminder about this place. It's been years since I have visited it so popped down there yesterday (Saturday lunchtime). Biggest shock was the new carpark! The place was heaving which was nice to see but it was difficult to park. NB car park is currently being...

Received emails today confirming safe return of goods and confirmation of full refund of deposit (up to 5 working days to clear) along with a 10% cashback voucher (to be used within 60 days).

    Zeiss - Try it for 48hours

    Took delivery of the bins yesterday. They arrived in their grey case in a smallish slightly torn cardboard box (not a hard plastic secured flight case) with minimal foam padding for protection inside a Parcel Force plastic bag. Thankfully no damage to them. Bins look new - no signs of wear &...

    Zeiss - Try it for 48hours

    Thanks for all replies. Have taken the plunge and have arranged for a trial. Have arranged to have them over the weekend - being delivered Thursday late afternoon and collected Monday. However, received a call this morning and due to possible driver delivery issues they can't ensure I'll get...

    Zeiss - Try it for 48hours

    James, Thanks for the info; much appreciated. How easy was it to repackage everything for collection please? The cashback voucher means the price of a pair of 10x42 SF's drops to about £1,850 - only about £50 more than a pair of Noctivids, £500 cheaper than a pair of NL's and £225 more than...

    Birds fae Torry

    Great pics. Where's the best place to park and access the park please? I'm guessing with all the harbour redevelopment one probably needs to head into the housing and park near the playpark at Balnagask Circle? Thanks GB

    Greetings

    Greetings from a cloudy Stonehaven here in the North East of Scotland, south of Aberdeen and home of the deep fried Mars Bar. As a young child I was introduced to bird watching and for a couple of years was a keen watcher but as I grew older other interests took over. At university I again...
