    Raptor in Central Scotland

    This was taken on 1 April. Our first impression was that it was a really big buzzard but when we saw the photo we didn’t know what to make of it. Any suggestions?

    Fungus ID requested - Scotland

    These were growing on the stump of a cut down Willow tree; sorry to be so light on information. I’d be grateful for any suggestions.

    What is this duck or goose in Central Scotland?

    Thanks to you both. I'd never heard of the Indian Runner, but I was interested to read up about it on Wikipedia.

    Goshawk in Scotland?

    I saw this bird near Doune yesterday. It looks to me like a Goshawk. It looked bigger than a Buzzard and had a flat crown with white supercilium bordered by black and a yellow base to the bill. I was very distant looking through binoculars. What do you think? Michael

    I saw at least four gulls on the Forth at Culross today that looked like Black-headed Gulls except that they each had a clear black or very dark patch on the breast arching up from the waterline.
