Had a wander to Scurdie Ness lighthouse, hoping for a sight of one of the Red Backed Shrikes, but none to be seen. Sea flat calm, very distant rafts of Kittiwake's and Auks and a few young Eiders close in. Rock Pipits, Skylarks in profusion, a couple of Linnets and Whitethroat, nice day for a walk. -

Montreathmont forest visit briefly today, a bit quiet this time of year, Male Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Siskin along with Blue, Coal and Great Tits, Blackcap and Goldfinches on the track. A Red Squirrel popped into say hello, saw three Brown Hare leverets and a couple of adults on the way home. -

Nice wander round the village fields, 4 Yellowhammers, a lot of singing Skylarks, a female Reed Bunting, Wren, Chaffinch and six rather late on parade Fieldfares(though the rivers and lakes in Finland are only just melting, so perhaps they aren't so late). Pheasant calling in the distance... -

A windy walk round the village was mostly about the Skylarks singing, though a furry highlight was a Stoat running up the road in front of us, seen a couple in recent weeks, probably after all the Rabbits that seem to have exploded in numbers. -

Just been out trying to photograph the Aurora and whilst stood in the dark on the railway bridge a Barn Owl came up off the trackside over the bridge and nearly hit me in the face, must have been no more than 6 feet away, amazing. -

Heard a couple of Skylarks on our walk around the village fields, not full blown display singing, but nice to see them out on the fields, a pair of Magpies look like they are starting nest building as are the village Rooks. -

Spent an hour scouring Montrose for Waxwings, seems there were around a hundred of them on the Aldi car park yesterday, none today anywhere, went to the BoS hide at the basin for an hour, missed the Kingfisher and didn't see much of the Fox that kept teasing us, all seems quiet still. -

Went on a Waxwing hunt today, but neither Montrose nor Arbroath had any I could find, popped into the Bank of Scotland hide on route, witnessed a Sparrow Hawk trying to take a Kingfisher from it's perch and a lone Great White Egret kept me company for an hour. Great White Egret by tigerburnie... -
