    Meet the 'peckers

    I've been photographing a pair of GSW for the last couple of years and sometimes capture a video or two so, I'm going to collect their story this year, if possible, in the hope they'll bring the youngsters back again. Looks like pop has been nest building already. Meet the 'peckers 2024

    Chaos in the garden on snowy day

    February 9th saw a day of sleet and snow with cold wind blowing all day. The birds flocked to the feeders, mainly Chaffinch but a good showing of five or more Brambling made it a good day for me and the camera. February 9th in the snow

    Clods of earth

    My friend and I set off last Sunday, a bit unsure where to go, but first of all we went to investigate the flooded areas between Alyth and Meigle, from which I picked up a few year ticks. Then we went on a drive round the hills towards Kinnordy. On route we stopped to scan around some stubble...

    Jackdaw in the rain

    I get the feeling this one bird keeps coming back to the garden, there're plenty around but, just a feeling, there's usually one hanging around. Anyway, taken through the window on the same rainy day as the poor Yellowhammer.

    The fog must have spoilt his view in the mirror!

    Last Sunday we headed off up into the hills and glens.... the further up we got the thicker became the mist, until it was real fog!!! We stopped for lunch at a favoured spot where we'd seen quite a few species the year before.... but oh so quiet just the occasional Meadow Pipit or Skylark...

    Nuthatch food sharing at the nest hole

    I spotted this nest site a couple of weeks back and re-visited today on a walk, great to see the birds still building and as is the case with many photographs, great to be in the right place at the right time, for a food share. I'll try to keep an eye on the nest from here on.
