  4. Fulmar

    Fulmar

    AAP One of the joys of visiting the coast in summer is to watch these superb fliers hanging in the wind. This was taken some years ago now and I just had to wait for a bird to come close enough for my little camera. I was rather pleased at the way it turned out.

  5. Spotted Flycatcher

    Spotted Flycatcher

    It's a very cold frosty morning and daaaark!!!! As promised, trawling through my archives and got this wee one from my digiscoping days. I'd been on a Scottish Bash to Strathspey and I stopped in a layby which had lots of trees in the hope that I'd see one of these, they seem to be getting...

    Lesser Yellowlegs

    AAP This was my other lifer from that Bash. Unfortunately, I just didn't seem able to focus on it - I took loads of pictures, and kept trying to re-focus but it just wouldn't work for some reason. I see the rocks behind are in focus though! However, being a Lifer, it's going in my Gallery, as...

    Oh well, I did try

    AAP I was ages trying to get some flight shots of the various birds at Fowlsheugh, it's really not easy trying to catch them with little cameras. However it was fun LOL Now I'm the one who was completey, utterly and hopelessly wrong about what was with the Herring Gull... I much prefer...

    Herring Gull

    AAP There were Herring Gulls all over the shop that day, most on the very edge of the cliffs, some had chicks that had left the nest but they were so well camouflaged it was really difficult not to walk on them, even though you kept to the path! I took some photos of adults, and it wasn't till...

    What's up there?

    AAP Thought I'd let you see some of the Razorbills at Fowlsheugh too. A few people have asked why I've waited so long to upload these pictures. Well, I wasn't a BF member at the time and forgot about them by the time I joined.

    Companionship

    AAP Moving along the cliff top a bit I rather liked the way this Razorbil and Guillemot. were sitting together. It actually rather reminds me of a memorial on the ccoast somewhere, depicting families watching for the fishing boats to return home - but they would never come. Wish I could...

    Hmmm.... that's a long drop!

    AAP Another picture from the Fowlsheugh trip. I can't quite remember how high the cliffs are there, but must be a couple of hundred feet. The birds just don't seem to be concerned at you walking just above their heads.

    Fulmar

    AAP South of Aberdeen is a seabird city - loads of Fulmars and auks nesting on any suitable ledge, even some Puffins if you're lucky enough to find them. Angles of view can sometimes be a bit difficult, this one was digiscoped across a deep cleft in the cliffs. There you go Chris... another...

    Common Gull

    AAP Away back when this shot and I thought it was time to have some more practise with flight shots. We'd headed over the Cairnwell towards Braemar. We sat beside the river for a cuppy where several Common Gulls were flying about, this was my best effort.

    Glen Muick

    Homeward bound after the Bash - I set off sort of north and west to Huntly then headed south to Royal Deeside. In all the years I've lived in the area, I've never been to Glen Muick so decided the time was right. What a lovely drive up onto the moor. Sorry it's not a sea view Eric;)

    Curlew

    The Bash broke up early afternoon but I was staying over, so took myself back to the Walkmill hide until it got too dark to see much. I was rather pleased when this Curlew came probing the mud in front of the hide. A nice guy came in with his grandson and he was helping me with some camera...

    Sea Watching (or my version)

    From the Ythan we went off to Collieston for a sea watching session. The fit members climbed up the cliff to sit in the gale force wind - I was a bit more sensible... or rather didn't think I could manage to climb the near vertical rocks! Jacq came down and helped put me on to some Harbour...

    Blackdog

    Just north of Aberdeen is a village called Blackdog which has been the home to a Black Scoter for most of this year. So late afternoon we trundled down there for a look-see, this picture is of a burn that cuts through the dunes. It was a walk too far for me, but everyone else connected with...

    Cairnbulg

    This is the view at Cairnbulg Point. Those distant rocks were covered with gulls, which the keener amongst us spent some time studying - I studied a ladybird which landed on me! It brought back memories of a long ago winter break in the area - one evening we watched a distant starling display...

    Here they come!

    After the Crane had flown off, we went down to the shore at Cairnbulg, to the north of Strathbeg to see what was around there, Grey Plover and my first Little Stint for a few years. Unfortunately it was just too far for my wee camera. I suddenly heard the squeaks of a skein of Pinkfeet and...
