    Birding at Loch of Kinnordy

    I thought the heap of stuff was a new Beaver lodge to start with, certainly been doing some maintenance.

    Birding at Loch of Kinnordy

    Popped into the main hide for a blether, most of the loch at the west end was still frozen, highlight was 5 Whooper Swans. Heard a report of two White Tailed Eagles over Lintrathan earlier, but we missed them. Last week a male Hen Harrier was seen, so I shall keep my eye out just in case.

    Perthshire

    Barn Owl over the road on the Perthshire/ Angus border near the Eassie cross roads. We used to see regular Barnies on the route from Perth to Froickheim, first one for a while, lovely sight.

    Had an early start looking for Squirrels, none showed, but it was a Jay fest with three birds popping in to see me.

    I should have said Scoter and not Scaup in the above.

    Out again with the gopro on Lunan beach this time, a couple of paddleboarders surfing pushed the birds out on the water, but a dozen and a half Oystercatchers and a couple of dozen Sanderlings were at the mouth of the Lunan Water

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    Red Kite day on our drive today, four either end of the Cairn O'Mount and another on the "slug" road on the way back. Not 100% but I think there were Crossbills calling next to the Boat Inn at Aboyns too.

    Angus Hills and Glens

    Funny old day in Glen Clova and Glen Doll, went looking and listening for the Red Deer rut which we found, but they were a long way off due to the large shooting party and about a dozen cars going up and down the Glen most of the time. We got a Short Eared Owl on the way back near Rottal for the...

    Hobby in Scotland

    I reported one over a decade ago seen not far from Lunan Bat Hawking for insects over the Keilor Burn. I used to see them often when I lived in Derbyshire.

    A very quiet walk around the fields today, the highlight was some Marsh Woundwort and a Holly Blue butterfly. Seems the summer migrants have moved south after an overnight temperature of 5 degrees, not one farm bird to be seen. Still a handful of Swallows and House Martins in the village, Swifts...

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    We had a nice run over the Cairn O'Mount with first a Red Kite near the Fasque estate and then a White Tailed Eagle near Finzean, which soared over us as we got out of the car to watch it for several minutes, an adult bird which I think was a male.

    Angus Hills and Glens

    Had a wander up Glen Mark, too many people on a nice day and noisy with the Grouse shooting going on up the Glen, we did however get 4 Whinchats(looked like an adult male, a female and two youngsters) keep us company on the way back from the Queens Well.
