    There is a lone Pink Footed Goose chilling with a pair of Mallards in a slightly flooded field just outside Alyth. I wonder if it will stay in the area all year.

Sand Martins and Swallows (and aforementioned H Martins) all regularly feed on the burn that runs by the side of the building. 3 Male Mallards regularly frequent the...

    Quite impressed, driving home from Dundee saw my daily viewing of a Barn Owl at Auchterhouse, but didn't expect to also see a Tawny Owl sitting on a dead tree at the side of the road (tree has only the trunk left, so I noticed the owl silhouette, slowed down and noticed it wasn't a Barn Owl...

    I have a photo of an Osprey sitting on a fence post but it won't upload - it seems very out of context not in the air or near water!

    I have an unbelievably distracted kind of person. Attention span of a gnat. I'm a lets go to a nice place and look around and if birds appear then cool kind of birdwatcher. I'm a geographer - so I spend a lot of time working outside - birdwatching is just an added extra while i'm doing it.
