    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    A Hoopoe has turned up at Pittodrie Stadium, home of Aberdeen FC. It has been rooting around for at least three days on the verges of the players' car park, which is private land, and so far the assembled throngs have kept their distance so the bird is relatively undisturbed, although distant...

    LTTs should be fairly easy in your area, nip along to the gardens at Castle Fraser and look out for mixed flocks of small birds foraging in the trees during cold weather - LTT should be amongst them. Another site which used to be fairly reliable (I haven't been there for a few years though) -...

    Not a rare bird by any means - but had an odd sighting of a Wheatear hopping about in the playing fields behind Dyce Asda this morning. Just goes to show that anything can turn up anywhere...

    Aberdeen Red Kites Does anyone have a definitive list of the tag numbers on the Aberdeen Red Kites? I took some photos of Nos. 35 and 77 on Friday in the Echt/Garlogie area and I am being asked for a little more info on these birds (age/sex etc) on another site. Ta for any info :t: Mark

    Wild in Aberdeen - City and Shire

    I was there about midday, there was another photographer there with the most enormous (!) telephoto lens I've ever seen, quite put my Sigma 150-500 to shame. I don't usually bother with the "mine's bigger than yours" syndrome but the cost of that piece of glass must have been eye-watering...
