    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    Not sure if anyone is interested in up-close encounters with common birds but there's a Blackbird's nest (there's a sign, you can't miss it) in B&Q, outdoor garden bit in amongst the bamboo. I could see three maybe four chicks being fed just a few feet away.

    Not sure if it's just me but for the past few days there's been this thing shining in the sky, I'd think it was the Sun if I didn't know better :-O

    Not all of them, though I suppose I could see all of them but only stand on a few!

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    That's good, it also comes with just over an acre of land I think, of course in today's metric system an acre means nothing to me but according to Google it's the same as an American football field. Which also means nothing to me but I'm pretty sure it can't be that different from a "soccer"...

    I keep looking at the berry laden trees when I'm out and about but no Waxwings as of yet.

    Am I the only person that's seeing Fieldfare's everywhere? There was also Brambling beside ARI today, couldn't take a picture, there's strict rules apparently, not even allowed bins

    Hi Joseph, I'm not certain but the RSPB volunteering on a nature reserve may count. http://www.rspb.org.uk/volunteering/about/about.asp "work experience towards a career in any field; CV enhancement" I don't know a specific contact though, you could maybe ask someone up at Strathbeg.

    Anyone been to Inchgarth Nature Reserve recently? The SOC hasn't updated the page since about 2002 by the looks of things.

    Well Muir of Dinnet is good for wintering wildfowl. Think I'll take a risk and go for Ptarmigan though, there's a guided walk that I'll join, I won't die at least...I hope :-O

    Hmm...I do prefer to be warm, they should build a cafe at the summit of Cairn Gorm, would be nice. I'll go up in the summer, or maybe Ben Nevis. I'm sure I'll think of somewhere to go, maybe the Muir of Dinnet. What's the best car park? It looks good. EDIT: Muir of Dinnet, Glen Tanar or Forest...

    Anywhere closer than Lecht? I've been there, great place but anywhere a little closer? Bennachie perhaps?

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    I've got one trip out before Christmas, anywhere you'd recommend for Ptarmagan and other winter wonders? I could go a little outside Aberdeenshire but nowhere as far as Aviemore. Any ideas? Anyplace good for Kingfisher?

    Not sure if anybody knows about this but in the Aberdeen City Council Library Catalogue there is a title called Where To Watch For Birds In And Around Aberdeen under the author Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and shelved at 598.2073. There's quite a lot of copies at by the looks of it...

    Your right, can't find it in any shops. Anyway there will probably be a new edition coming out soon so might as well wait.
