  1. Early moult

    Early moult

    Well when you see some waders still with their summer plumage, it seems early for this guy Common Ringed Plover to have his winter coat on!! These are my favourite charadrius waders.
  2. It must be catching

    It must be catching

    Because here's a Great Black-backed Gull also apparently intent on holding back the tide LOL. It didn't work of course.
  3. Defiance

    Defiance

    A Cormorant was further off-shore on a line of rocks that was about to be swamped by the in-coming tide. It appears he's determined not to move .... think he's trying to better King Canute LOL Yesterday's puzzle well done those who had a go. As you all saw the Ringed Plover on the right and the...
  4. Emerging

    Emerging

    Ferdie, my friendly Pheasant, came to see us as we put the feed out for the birds at Mause. I was actually rather pleased with this picture... so I do hope it appeals to you as well.
  5. Caught!

    Caught!

    Cheeky Robin seems to have spotted me sitting in the car! Got a bit of a glare, didn't I!
  6. Growing up

    Growing up

    I don't seem to post too many Great Tits, then suddenly two consecutively. This immature (which I think is a female), was waiting for a chance to get onto the peanut butter on the small branch.
  7. Planning his next move

    Planning his next move

    This Great Tit, I think, was planning where to head for next. There's feeders all over the place and it's necessary to pick wisely isn't it!
  8. Independent

    Independent

    An Immature Great Spotted Woodpecker showing how independent he now is, deciding which of the nuts he's going to go for.
  9. Framed

    Framed

    You wouldn't think that squirrel is about 6 feet back from the fence with the Pheasant! Either that is a different pheasant, or he's moulting. Can't remember which now! But Ferdie (my usual one) does like to jump up on that rail so I usual put a few seeds there. Saturday Fun
  10. Addicted

    Addicted

    This Red Squirrel appears to be addicted to PNB... always comes, without fail!!! Gorgeous, isn't he.
  11. Screened

    Screened

    A Robin was trying to hide behind some twigs, not very successfully really. I've begun to notice more and more that some Robins have an all-red face, others varying amounts of grey on the cheeks and forehead. I cannot work out why, so will be starting a thread in the ID forum later, linking...
  12. Gradually maturing

    Gradually maturing

    I don't know if it's the same bird, but this Chaffinch seems to have a bit more male colouring on him than the last picture I showed you of an Immature male.
  13. Danger zone?

    Danger zone?

    On our way back from Glen Mar, we called in for a brief visit to the Mause Feeders. A female Great Spotted Woodpecker was on the nuts. The Coal Tit would appear to be right beneath her, but in fact is about a foot beyond.
  14. Purple

    Purple

    We turned left at Braemar and headed up Glen Mar. The hills looked beautiful with the heather in bloom.
  15. Inland fisher

    Inland fisher

    Every now and then I like to head north for a change to get a change of scenery. We stopped at the top of the Cairnwell for a cup of coffee but, as per normal for me the weather was foul and we couldn't see the slopes at all! So soon continued towards Braemar. Half way along I turned off the...
  16. Aliens have arrived!!

    Aliens have arrived!!

    On my way back from Stracathro (remember the kite day?), we stopped for a coffee break at the far end of Kinnordy. There wasn't much to see that late afternoon that was within range of my camera, but looking around I saw something odd in the far distance. So got my camera on it to see if I could...
  17. Blue Tits never seem too shy to join in!

    Blue Tits never seem too shy to join in!

    After a short session on my Patch, we called in at the Craighall feeders. First down to the fatballs were some Long-tailed tits along with a young Blue Tit. I think the Long-tailed tit flock has broken up now. Today none were to be seen at either feeding area, the last week only one came in to...
  18. Tree tops

    Tree tops

    On my patch one day I saw a blob on top of a tree (must be the best part of a quarter of a mile away). Zooming in it proved to be a Buzzard. There seems to be a fine crop of pine cones there too!
  19. What a scruff

    What a scruff

    I think I've told you before that Magpies are pretty rare in this area, but they are becoming a little more visible. The last two to three years I've had occasional visits from one or two and have heard them from our car park. This is one that called in last August. They usually hang around (or...
  20. Having a rest

    Having a rest

    Some miles further on I stopped to check out two blobs in a tree - turned out to be yet another Red Kite pair!! Just a few years ago we wouldn't have seen any at all in the area and here we'd come across two pairs in a few miles. Just amazing how they're spreading, obviously due to the release...
  21. We have lift off

    We have lift off

    The Kite after a while had a rest from flying and sat at the top of the slope for a bit, but then took off as I was taking pictures of him.
  22. I can't be that scary, can I!!?

    I can't be that scary, can I!!?

    This Osprey appears to think I'm the most frightening thing he's ever seen!!! Surely not? Another look at the Balgavies Ospreys. Saturday Fun
  23. It's all to do with the tail

    It's all to do with the tail

    During a recent visit to Loch of the Lowes I learned that the way to tell Red Squirrels apart was to check their tails. So now I'm trying to make sure I get a picture showing the tail. Not got very far with that yet I'm afraid
  24. A chance encounter

    A chance encounter

    Leaving my patch, we drove further along the road, stopping to check the farm's garden feeders. A handsome Siskin was emptying the seed feeder.
  25. Two little ones

    Two little ones

    Arriving at my Patch, we sat by the lochan to eat our lunch and to see what might be about this mid-August day. An adult Little Grebe appeared and from the distance we were away we could see another. It wasn't until I studied the pictures, that I realised the closer one had to be a youngster...
