    Birds fae Torry

    Maybe they like a bit of salt (as some birds do)? I expect they know the tides if they live in the area. With the Bluethroat, I guess it depends what kind of distance you're talking about. On my brief first view, the red on the tail base was noticeable in flight. Females and young birds are a...

    Yes, I've seen and heard Collared Doves more regularly this year. They're often visible from home and have even been in the back garden.

    Calm and cloudy today and it turned out quite interesting. The interest began when I received a text from Raymond Duncan saying he'd just seen a female Bluethroat near the Battery. I headed over that way and was soon looking around in the area Raymond had last seen it. Sadly, there was no sign...

    A mostly overcast, slightly misty day, which was warm earlier but a cool NE wind arrived later. I had a good look around but things were fairly low-key. At St Fittick's, there were reasonable numbers of warblers singing, with a couple of Whitethroats probably new arrivals. Black Guillemot was...

    Birds fae Torry

    Have been around the headland the past couple of evenings. Yesterday (16th), things were fairly quiet. 30 Purple Sandpipers were in Greyhope Bay and offshore there was an Arctic Skua and a couple of Puffins. Others saw more however. This evening featured 27 Purple Sandpipers, with offshore...

    Blob in a photo from Grenada in April

    I get more the impression of a dark phase Red-footed Booby, particularly from the (apparently) paler brown head. I think we would see more obvious, clear cut white on a Brown Booby.

    Another misty day with light winds. I had a look around the headland late afternoon. There were still 44 Purple Sandpipers in Greyhope Bay and an unseasonal Curlew. A female Wheatear was also there. Offshore, seven Arctic Skuas was a good number and 16 Puffins went through, including a group of...

    A brisk look around late afternoon today. Things were fairly quiet again, although 49 Purple Sandpipers remained in Greyhope Bay. Two Sanderlings on the breakwater included a very fine looking reddish, breeding plumage bird. The pair of Black Guillemots were off the foghorn before returning to...

    It was cooler today and fairly misty most of the time, with a brisk SE breeze. I had a decent look around through the morning. At St Fittick's, the usual array of birds were around including three Redpolls and a Pheasant. Four Common Scoters and two Black Guillemots continued to abide in Nigg...
