    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    Ruff it will have to be Andrew, I was finishing a coffee in the visitor centre before the drive home and 20 minutes previous there was probably 6 experienced birders in there who would have known them no problem. Such is life ;)

    Fowlsheugh With the AWPR open now it's about a 20 minute drive to Fowlsheugh from Westhill. A pleasant sunny morning but still a bit on the chilly side, all the usual suspects on show incl 4 Puffins,(shame about the smell) and a pair of Stonechat below the car park, may have been fledglings...

    Torry owl I was around the Ness yesterday for a couple of hours with nothing out of the ordinary to report, dropped by today with wife in tow, (who is not into birding in any form) and met this beauty near the Battery car park. Headed off and landed on the small hill behind the allotments. Jim

    Nothing spectacular on the bird front but good views of a weasel searching the rocks to the south of the lighthouse breakwater in Greyhope Bay. Watched for a good 10 minutes before it took off up the road from the breakwater, camera, of course, was in the car !
