    Honey Buzzards

    Look like Honeys to me. We have some in tiny numbers in the south of the county. Fabulous birds.

    Pallid Harrier breeds in Spain

    Aye, that was present for a couple of weeks last May wasn’t it? Lovely sight in an otherwise tragically poor spot for raptors lately. Heartbreaking when considered what it used to be like....

    Scotland advice

    Hi, I spend a lot of time in Scotland birdwatching and I’m a regular visitor to Mull. Plenty of the birds you mention are present on Mull but timing is as usual an issue. It’s a pity you can’t make the trip earlier when the breeding season is in full swing, always something amazing to see...

    RFI south west Scotland - Newton Stewart area

    Depends how far you wish to travel but Langholm Moor can be excellent for Birds of Prey - Hen Harriers, Short Eared owls, Merlin etc. Caerlaverock is a WWT centre on the solway- check out their website for what’s about at the moment. Moffat area has Ospreys and breeding peregrines by Grey Mares...

    Possible red kite in the Lincolnshire Wolds?

    Seems like it's a similar situation with the Grizedale Red Kites, not been the success story it was hoped to be.

    Possible red kite in the Lincolnshire Wolds?

    Hi Crix, I'd suggest it was maybe a Buzzard as they are pretty similar in size, a Red Kite has a very distinctive forked tail, if you saw this?

    Invigorating optimism there, with that kind of attitude we should all just give up now.

    Isle of Mull....

    Thanks for the info Dave. Down at Loch Buie there's an area with "Beware of Adders" signs up, only discovered it this year, didn't get chance of a proper exploration due to the aforementioned cleggs. Know where you mean, will have a check next month. Thanks again

    Isle of Mull....

    They were everywhere when we were there, the week from the 25th of June, Smidge did a decent enough job but they would still have a go, talking to a couple who were walking back from Croggan and they had a swarm following them, in all the years I've been going it was easily the worst this time...
