    Seafield to Kinghorn

    This is what's been fished out: a Mallard!

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    That's awful news, especially after they've been displaying this week. We'll try and retrieve the body and see if we can find out what happened to it. Thanks Paul.

    Just reward for diligent patch-work!!

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    All very valid points Paul and some sensible suggestions there. Let's see if anything can be done. I've written in the first instance to the site manager at the Ecology Centre asking for details of previous incidents and what he knows about any previous approaches to the Scottish Carp Group...

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    That's a fine photo Paul! At midday there were four Med Gulls on the loch (3 adults and a 1st winter) and a Grey Wagtail by the sluice (is that on the list?) Delia I gather than the cause of the cygnet's death was a fishing hook. This is at least the third such incident here in the last three...

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Nice photos from the Loch Paul. I'm very envious of the Dipper. Apparently the Ring-necked Duck has decamped to Beveridge Park!

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Hi Paul Sorry not to have got back to you sooner. I've been waiting on the Birdtrack records for the Loch which have now been kindly supplied via the Fife Bird Club. If you PM me your email address I'll send them through, although it's just a species list without details of sightings and I...

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Hi Gander Living in Burntisland and having a dog to walk, I visit Kinghorn Loch several times a week, so I regard it as falling within my patch too. I also used to be on the board of the Ecology Centre and still occasionally contribute nature-related stuff to their website (although not for a...

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    I had a look for your Dipper yesterday Gander and found it upstream just beyond the viaduct. Nice collection of trolleys too. By the way I had 40 Purple Sandpipers at the harbour when I did the last WEBS count.

    You're welcome Gander! Just two more needed for the century....

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    I walked from Kinghorn to Seafield Tower yesterday. Amongst a bunch of Black-headed and Herring Gulls loafing on the rocks about halfway along were two adult Mediterranean Gulls, probably two of the three I saw on the mudflats off Burntisland during the previous week. It looks like this is a new...

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Keep your eye out for skuas. I had one Pom, 2 Arctic and 2 Bonxies off Kinghorn from 1700-1800hrs today.

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    There were 1000+ terns on the sands at Burntisland a couple of weeks ago. I estimated 650 Common, 350 Sandwich but it was impossible to get an accurate count.

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    I had a quick stroll from the southern end of Kirkaldy today. There was a pair of Velvet Scoter off the mouth of the Tiel Burn (perhaps the same birds that you saw yourself recently Gander) and a couple of Long-tailed Ducks. I also saw three Purple Sandpipers further down towards the tower. But...

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Right, I guess that's near Seafield Tower. By the way I saw a Med Gull on Burntisland Sands the other day.

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Well done! Is that Kirkcaldy harbour you're referring to, or Kinghorn?

    Seafield to Kinghorn

    Gander is that Kinghorn or Pettycur Harbour? Is that the western boundary of your patch? I've just moved to Burntisland so mine's the next patch along.
