Tayforth Birding
Hello all, I might be doing some birding down in Perth & Kinross and Fife this weekend, with the Ross's Goose and Ring-necked Duck at Vane Farm in mind. Obviously many Ross's Goose records are deemed as spurious. Does the Vane Farm bird fit this category? Or is it seen as genuine? As for the... -

That sounds brilliant, Scone really does host really does host a fantastic phenomenon in its wintering Hawfinches. Well done again :t:. Joseph -

Fantastic stuff Barry :t:, well done! I wonder if they are having a more successful year than they have done in previous years? That's the largest total I've heard reported from there for a while! Was that a single flock? ATB, Joseph -

I agree, certainly can't think of any site that can match Scone's Hawfinch numbers. Thank you for the information, it's good to know that 30 is a great count - highly doubt I'll be treated to such a privelige as that again! ATB, Joseph -

I see, I wasn't able to get any details either, I tried to get round to photograph the Med Gull from the other side where the details of the ring would have been, but unfortunately it flew as I tried. I am hoping that other people will know of the details, just not quite sure where else I can... -

Thanks Stonefaction, I thought 30 was a pretty unusual total. Presume it is? And yes, that Black Redstart is a cracker! When you've been to Buckhaven, Stonefaction, have you noticed the ring on the bird that I photographed above? I wasn't able to get any details on the ring, despite trying. If... -

Well, I managed to get out to Scone Palace and to the Fife Coast today. I headed out early in the morning, with first stop being at Longforgan roundabout just off the A90 where I successfully saw the 90 Waxwings that have been reported here at around 8:30. By 9:00 I was at Scone and checking... -

Thanks so much for your help Stonefaction, it's really appreciated! I will be going in the weekend by the looks of it, I will report back after the day and if I manage to get any of the targets. :t: ATB, Joseph -

Thanks for this information Stonefaction. Can I ask where Shore Road is in Buckhaven? For me Med Gull would be a great bird to see for the year and in Scotland (yet to see one in Scotland). Thanks very much, Joseph -

Thank you very much to everyone who have responded to my questions and has made me aware of where the best places are for the Hawfinches are at Scone Palace. I will definitely listen out for that call! Thank you Stonefaction for the information on the Black Redstart and the Parakeets, the... -

Hi, I am hoping to spend one day this weekend birding in the Fife and Perth/Kinross area, and I thought that this would be the best place to come to try and clarify a few things. I have several targets during the day. One of these are the Hawfinches at Scone Palace. Some were reported on... -

Hello gus, That's interesting to hear. I don't know if I'll be going up to Forfar Loch again as that was the first time I visited and I don't normally head south to go birding. Come to think of it now that White-fronted Goose was probably in that potato field. We did head back on to the A90 by... -

Noticed that I missed that yesterday whilst being at Forfar Loch. I now regret not having my phone for checking birdguides! Anyway, well done. Forfar Loch yesterday was positively thriving with winter wildfowl, with plenty of Goosanders, Goldeneyes, Mallards, Teals and Tufted Ducks, as well as... -

Hi edenwatcher. Well done on finding the Black-throated Diver. I am hoping to go to Forfar Loch in search of the diver, Scaup, and the scarcer geese this weekend. However I'm not quite sure where to go to get to Forfar Loch. Can anyone give me any details about the place, its location and how to...
