  1. I get all excited....

    I get all excited....

    .... when I see a Hoodie, quite forgetting they're so common in Norway. I have to go across to the West Coast of Scotland to find them. So here's another one for you, picking away on the shingle.

    We had a selection of waders there too, mostly enjoying paddling about in the mud that was appearing with the receding tide. First to show you is this Redshank.

    We walked down into the town, and had only a few minutes been on the way when we came across this Hoodie.... he walked in front of us for quite some distance!

    Maggie

    After our long day at the nature reserve, we didn't set off at the crack of dawn on the next day, so I had time to consider the garden birds for a wee while. There's feeders hanging in the bushes right outside my bedroom window. But first up this morning was a Magpie sitting on what Ann calls...

    Another, just wanting to keep his feet cool was this Hooded Crow. Apparently there are no Carrion Crows in Norway (or at least up that far). These guys are everywhere and much braver than the ones I see.

    Loch and hills with signs

    This is the view from the car park across Loch Leven. I'd arranged to meet up with my niece, her husband and their baby son Joseph, my first sighting of the wee mite (he's a year old this week)! I had a wander about the car park and road while waiting for them and was rather struck with this...

    Distant fly past

    I need to finish off my pictures from the west coast of Scotland in May! This was the day that we went to some gardens near Oban. We stopped at a rather nice view point with a sea view. A long way down I spotted a gull flying through and thought he looked great with the blue sea behind and...

    Along with the Robin on that beach was a Hooded Crow. It seems you seem them everywhere on the west coast.... nice for me, as I don't see them on the east (at least not proper ones). A quick post and run today.... I'm off to Perth for bony adjustments and last bits of shopping before my...

    This was rather a surprise, a Rock Pipit in the village, right by the shops and everything LOL. No idea where the nest could be, the sea shore was behind him, children's playground in front. Thanks for the heads up guys, ID changed.

    Bit awkward to take this one, through the glass and rather dim under the trees. But they're still beautiful birds, aren't they! I'd not seen one away from Loch of the Lowes for quite some time, but on Sunday I was out for a walk at the back of our town, and could hear one singing away...

    Start of April I went to Kinnordy, last day of April I visited Loch of the Lowes. First bird up was this Yellowhammer investigating the food on offer. Aren't they pretty guys!! TTTWS

    Back again

    Some of you may remember my September excitement to have a Magpie in the garden for the first time! Such a rarity round here. Well he returned again at the end of November, but that pesky twig spoilt what could have been some otherwise reasonable pictures.... it went right across his eye...

    Obviously......

    ..... he quite liked my menu, for a week later he was back again. It would appear there was some more bacon fat on offer. It's not that I don't like fat, but I'm trying to lose weight and have to cut it off. Birds may as well enjoy it. TTTW

    A Garden First

    I guessed it would happen sometime, but had no idea of course. Magpies are really very rare around here and I've only seen the odd one round about in the more open countryside. My first pictures of him are more suited to a quiz or SF, so was quite pleased to get this clearer image. He did...

    I see these guys so rarely, I forget they're not really black and white!!! This angle picked up some rather pretty iridescence I thought. Taken on the banks of the canal.

    Dusk Magpie

    For the first time that visit a Magpie came and settled on the roof of the house below my brother's in the evening. Prior to that I'd only seen them along the canal. The light was all wrong of course, as that was the way the sun set, although it was rather cloudy.

    A bit distant and through a gap in the trees so not brilliantly focused I'm afraid. However, it is a Year and Trip tick. They're such a rarity in my area would you believe. Think I may have got better views later on.
