    East of Scotland Basking Sharks

    Incredible movement of Basking Sharks into the North Sea. I saw about 12 in and around Nairn Bay last Saturday. Today someone counted 54 (Fifty Four!!!) in the same place with others seen in the Forth. Two weeks ago I saw a pod of well over 100 common dolphins from Stonehaven. Another west...

    Birds fae Torry

    Might be worth sending the dolphin photo to Charlie Phillips to get the individual dolphin identified. Could well be 'Carter' if it was a long way up the channel. Ian

    Otter chases man

    I cannot see anything in this video that looks like an attack. I have seen otters fight and it did not look like that. I would suggest its a cub that has lost its mum, the calls are more like contact calls. I have also seen a mum look at me and bare its teeth, again not like the poor one in the...

    James In my opinion their is no real problem looking for them responsibly outwith the breeding season. However you will need to do a lot of walking and views are likely to be of a large bird smashing though the branches away from you. However if you find a rouge male, which are active from...

    Birding around Nagoya and Kyoto

    My wife is from Nagoya and her family still lives their. From a western stand point it is very hard to find the 'real' Japan. The place is very cluttered with signs, power lines and vending machines everywhere. Kyoto has nice parts but as a city is more like Birmingham or Glasgow than York or...

    Ice Birds and Palms, Winter in Japan.

    Sounds like a great trip Stayed at the lodge a few years ago. Very hard to find but to be fair, (if it is still the standard it was then) the owner had probably spent 3+hours working on your evening meal. Looking forward to the next instalment. Ian
