Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire
Well my wife doesn't like the bird for a sedge warbler. I'm stuck in the middle between 2 people I can't argue with (for different reasons of course). We'll need to go again. Just as well I like the coffee there. -

I'm rubbish at identifying by sound, but my wife thought she clearly heard and saw reed warbler, and at the loch listened to recordings of reed warbler to confirm. I have no photo or recording. I'll try to rectify that on our next visit. It is a relatively small area, so should be possible... -

The cuckoo is still there near the Knockburn sporting (Triathlon really) loch coffee shop, and likely to be there for a while. We did not see it today, but it was calling from South of where we were regularly. We always expected it to come closer, but eventually we had to go before it did. Just... -

Maybe not exciting for a lot of birders, but I saw my first cuckoo for a while 100m west of Knockburn Loch coffee shop, moving between the boundary fence posts, probably male, only calling once. Stayed 10 minutes, and went off North. -

I'm happy to accept the extension of the term "Gramps " to include Tullos Hill. -
Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire
Being as we are somewhat off the topic of birding, I am more confident in my ability to discuss the "Gramps". I always understood the "Gramps" to refer only to Kincorth Hill and its environs, not Tullos Hill. They are both part of the Loirston Country Park, but I do not believe that the "Gramps"... -

I live in Cove, not far to the North of you. Ken Hall, a local birder, died recently, but his wife has kept his website activated. You will find some helpful details athttp://www.thenatureofnortheastscotland.com/section295030_97732.html. You will find lots of geese between your house and Cove... -

Can I remind Aberdeen people about Loirston Loch. Located near Cove, it is about 1km x 200m, with direct access from the dual carriageway. Is is accessible from the 3, 117 and 21(No evening or Sunday service) buses, provided you are equipped for a damp hike, but circular routes are possible (one...
