  1. 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.

  2. Dipper

    Dipper

    AAP Oh but I'm so pleased to have found a Dipper picture on that disc! I know exactly where and when I took this - it was the same day I digiscoped my avatar. We'd gone for a long weekend to Loch Ruthven and turned off to go along Strath Dearn (or Findhorn Glen) which is a great place for...

  3. Common Gull

    Common Gull

    AAP I kept trying (and hoping) for 'the' flight shot with the little Nikon Coolpix, but really asking a bit much. Anyway this was taken up on my Patch a few years ago. Sometimes there were just 2 or 3 birds there, other times 50 or more.

  4. Beauly Firth

    Beauly Firth

    AAP As you leave Inverness, you cross the Beauly Firth (with runs into into the Moray Firth); the water from Loch Ness runs in here too. This picture was taken from the car park at the Red Kite visitor centre on the north side. I think the yellow patch is probably oil seed rape.

  5. Red-legged Partridge

    Red-legged Partridge

    AAP I'd forgotten all about this picture! I was sitting in the car and must have noticed a movement in the wing-mirror. Twisted round and managed to fire off two shots (the second one even more was hidden behind the posts!) It's interesting really, the partridge was less than 2 car lengths...

  6. Llangorse Lake

    Llangorse Lake

    AAP A few months ago I showed you a picture of Llangorse Lake from the 'commercialised' end. This picture is taken at the nature reserve part. I'm sure I saw a Yellow-legged Gull that day, but due to the heat the pictures are awful! But it certainly looked like an adult Herring Gull with...

    Llanfihangel Gobion

    AAP As I think I said before, I always try and visit Llanfihangel Gobion when I go to see my brother and I really love this view I got. Now if you get your bins out and look really, really, hard you should see some birds in the middle distance.

    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...

  9. Herring Gull

    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...

    Greylag Goose

    AAP On the way back from Hatton, we called in at Forfar Loch, which really can have some good birds there at times. Taken in the days when I could get down on my knees for a shot! A Happy New Year to all my friends at Birdforum.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Turnstones

    Another of my archive pictures, this time from 2003. An early December walk along Broughty Ferry beach, these wee chaps were so confiding, they really let me get quite close to them. This still remains one of the best pictures I've got of this species.

    Fulmar for Chris

    Chris didn't believe I had a Fulmar picture - so just to prove him wrong;) This was taken years ago at Fowlsheugh RSPB Reserve on the east coast of Scotland, which holds all the usual cliff nesting birds in the summer, including Puffins. It's a great place to go, but I've not been for a while...

    Common Gull behaviour

    This picture was taken a few years ago up on my Patch; I came across it again today and hoped you all might be interested. There were about 40 Common Gulls on my Patch that day. Shortly after the numbers virtually doubled - nearly all of them sub-adult. After a while they all started to fly...

    Puffin checking out the Gannets

    Jim going back to Shetland shortly, reminded me of the trip we had up to the top of the Island of Unst. The most northerly of the islands. The nature reserve of Hermaness has one of the largest Gannetries to be found and just off-shore is the lighthouse of Muckle Flugga! It's quite a trek...

    Common Flameback

    Given the blacker markings on the breast, I think that this is a juvenile as opposed to an adult female, but I would welcome other opinions.
