    The Highlands and Islands Thread

    Hi Damian, I just remembered that there is a Capercaillie lek watch from the Osprey hide at the RSPB reserve at Loch Garten, although I don't know if this is active in May or not. I'm sure others on the thread will have better info. That reserve also had Crested tit and crossbill, and I'm sure...

    Sunda Forktail, Bandung

    Hi to all. Had a day off work so started with a visit to Taman Ganesa in Bandung, in Java. Was entertained by the local red breasted parakeets before heading up to Curug Dago (Dago falls). This is a small area of riverine forest amongst the madness of the Indonesian traffic. It's heavily...

    Your most memorable "flight sequence/action.....?

    Late January about ten years ago, in a Scottish glen, watching a pair of courting Golden Eagles. The male was about ten feet in front of the female and she copied his every move exactly. He sailed along the ridge sometimes just moving a few feathers to slightly change direction and she did...

    Kinghorn, Fife

    Hi, I lived in Kinghorn until very recently. It might be a bit early in the year but the Fife coastal path from Kinghorn to Kirkcaldy is always worth a walk. Should be plenty offshore, and if the migrants have arrived the coastal scrub will be alive with song too. Should see seals at the tower...

    Birding near Borobodur?

    Hi Temmie, I've checked out the Nusantara site for the Jogja area. In a way it might be good not to know what to expect as surprise sightings are always the best. If you are in the area and see a guy walking around with binoculars its probably me, so say hello and we can compare notes. After...

    Birding near Borobodur?

    Hi, I will be spending three days at Borobodur in early July. Aside from sightseeing I hope to do some birding too, but I can find no information whatsoever online about what to expect in the area and the best spots to visit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark
