    Razor sharp bill

    These razorbills were sat behind a protrusion. Not fussed that we were just a few meters away. Though the bill is broad side on, it is thin and sharp when you look at it head on. And amazing to see a flowering plant on what is a rocky cliff.

    A stunning bird to look at. One of the few instances when I could get close enough for a decent shot.

    Will he go away if I pretend not to notice him?

    This eider was on its nest just a metre away from the footpath. Amazing how a bird that would otherwise quickly swim away is adapted to hunker down when on its nest. Apparently the scientific name somateria mollisima is derived from Greek sōma "body" and erion "wool", and Latin mollissimus...

  13. A peaceful day

    A peaceful day

    Reminds me of villagers sunbathing back home. I know, it sounds odd coming from an Indian, but my village is 2000m above sea level. And there is no central heating. Hence its pretty cold during winter (we don't get snow where I am from, but water freezes in the winter).

  19. Saturday fun

    Saturday fun

    .... or Going down! This Great Tit decided it must be easier to go right down inside the feeder to get the nuts. He didn't stay there long... straight in and out. A coalie had learnt the same trick, but he was even faster, didn't manage a picture of that one at all. You'll see how far down...

  23. Dunnock

    Dunnock

    The feeders at the Eden estuary can be very busy and certainly were that day, with a wide variety of birds coming in. I didn't dare open the window, as the birds were really very close. It was so nice to be so near to some birds that I struggle to photograph at home. TTTW

    Where's me 'ead?

    Saturday fun. The Monday after I returned from my holiday, my friend was off and he wanted to leave at 6:30am!!! gulp!!! to go to the Eden Estuary. Unfortunately it was low tide, but there was still a bit of activity, especially around the feeders, one of which was this Dunnock! I just roared...

    Pheasant

    AAP On the other side of the river Tay from me is Fife, and at the north end is Tentsmuir Forest. Some friends of the forest put feed out in various places and this pheasant had made use of one of them - he looks as if he's been caught out.
