    Black Guillemot off Fort George

    Every time I visit my mother in Ardersier, I walk around the shoreline at Fort George, weather and tides permitting, this was a cold, windy but sunny morning and two birds kept appearing near the shore, I didn't know at the time what they were, I just caught this one popping up behind a wave crest.

    Red Breasted Merganser pair on the beach

    I've eventually learned to take my time rounding the corner behind the fort, not charging round and scaring everything off! I watched the male merganser haul out of the sea and walk up the beach to the female.

    Little or Black headed?

    Good morning all. Up visiting the folks at the weekend and spotted these along the shore next to Fort George, Ardersier. It's only now editing the photos I wondered are they Little or Black Headed gulls, adult and youngster? I notice the two younger birds have yellow on the beaks. Thanks all.

    AAP The last of the pictures from the Sunday afternoon that I spent with Ken and Evelyn after the Strathspey Bash. Goodness knows where they actually took me, but it was some of their favourite spots in the area. They hoped to find Osprey at this loch and we sure weren't disappointed - I...
