Had my first Spring migrant on Sunday (21/03/10) -a single Chiffchaff at Birnie/Gaddon Lochs (Fife). I still have a male Blackcap visiting our garden feeders (present since early January). Images of these birds below: -

Thanks for highlighting this. I was not advising a walk into the reedbeds though there is a clear cut track & pipeline that can be followed which might tempt people in! I have witnessed a number of non-birding walkers take this path (only to return 20 mins later). Safety issues... -

Michael could this possibly be a hepatic phase female Cuckoo or a juvenile Cuckoo? -

Went up Glen Lochay today, driving up & over into Glen Lyon. The birding is getting a bit harder as everything is feeding young at the moment. Got Garden Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Pied Flycatcher (a cracking male) & G.S.Woodpecker -all near the small hydro-electric plant. About 2km further... -

I've seen Marsh Harriers hunting over fields a few kilometres to the west of Errol -some of these fields will probably be visible from the train so you possibly did see a Marsh Harrier. -

Can't help with the Kinnordy birds Michael but the Tay reedbeds are normally the most reliable site for Beardies in Scotland. All my views have been at a distance but others have seen them close up. You should also see Marsh Harriers here. From the end of the M90 motorway take the Perth-Dundee... -

Pied Flys are thinly distributed throughout Western Perthshire/Breadalbane in suitable habitat (thinly grazed/ungrazed oakwood & old unmanaged riparian birch woods). There are some Pied Flys in Glen Lochay (north of Killin) -it's not too far from there to Glen Lyon. That said it's still a good... -

Went up the back of the Ochils from Glendevon on friday (27th March) afternoon> it was bitterly cold in that strong north wind. Not a lot around! Highlights were a pair of Goosander prospecting on the river Devon, a single windblasted Wheatear (my first of the year), a pair of overflying Ravens... -

Brent Geese Brent Geese are uncommon birds in Scotland but there is a small flock of Pale-bellied Brents which return to winter on the outer Eden estuary each year (at least for the last few years). Since the New Year there has also been a lone Dark-bellied Brent Goose which seems not to mix... -

Confined to the local area today (Culross/Valleyfield in West Fife). Before leaving the garden I had a brief Willow/Chaff hanging around the feeders with some tits -didn't get a good view but seemed quite bright with a conspicuous supercilium so probably a late Willow. A brief visit to the... -

Look what flew past Fife Ness yesterday On Saturday afternoon (22/09/07) I was in the Fife Bird Club hide at Fife Ness. Three days before there had been a good showing of Sooty Shearwaters close inshore & I hoped for more. Sadly the shearwaters did not show & apart from a few distant Arctic... -

Good birds Delia. There have been good numbers passing through Fife -both coastal & inland in the last 10 days (there were 33 @ Vane Farm on Sunday). -

Went out searching for spring migrants hoping for Wheatear & some hirundines yesterday (4th April). Began @ Moor Loch in the very west of Fife, got two singing Chiff-Chaff but surprisingly no Sand Martins. Headed off up the A9 to Greenloaning taking the Braco-Comrie road where I got 2 Red...
