Shady
I had to work quite hard on this one to show the Yellowhammer more clearly. It was pretty dark on the ground under the trees, where this guy decided to go and feed!- delia todd

They never make it easy
The first Dunnock I've shown you from Loch of the Lowes for quite some time. There is often one at the feeding station, but they do make life so difficult feeding right below the window, so you're shooting downwards through the glass. This one was no exception, except that he did move up a few...- delia todd

Forward Planning
Back at Loch of the Lowes. I was watching a Great Spotted Woodpecker at the nut feeder, when he flew across to a dead tree, which he appeared to attack! Then back to the nuts again. He repeated this once or twice, when I suddenly realised he was storing the nuts in holes in the tree!!! I...- delia todd

Fleeting Visit
A Long-tailed Tit suddenly appeared at our Mause feeders in early June. Just the one and no visits from then; now in October and still no signs. They are, however, pretty regularly seen at our other feeders about a mile away. A shame, they're so adorable.- delia todd

Sparrows galore
Not far from the House Sparrow which I showed you last week was a Tree Sparrow on a wire. Obviously got young, so would appear to be a healthy population of them there.- delia todd

Don't get too close!
I can't believe I've not shown you a Mallard from our Mause feeders before. There's nearly always some around as on the opposite side of the old road is a small pond area that gets filled up from overflow off the hill; presumably to stop it swamping the field beside it or running down the old...- delia todd

Cute lady
We had a run down to the banks of the River Tay in the Invergowrie area. Pulling in and stopping whereever we safely could on the narrow winding roads. One stop produced a flock of House Sparrows in a hedge. This was a female, as I rather liked her pose.- delia todd

Surfing
Early June and we were at Loch of the Lowes, I was testing out a possible new pair of bins. Got them too, a pair of Viking Peregrine 10x42 after getting advice in the Binoculars Forum (thanks guys). A Common Goldeneye came into view; I do think they're attractive ducks these) and did what I...- delia todd

Pretty in yellow
There's a feeding station viewable in comfort from the visitor centre at Loch of the Lowes, which attracts quite a few birds which I hardly ever see at home, such as this Eurasian Siskin. A joy to see at any time, so I'm hoping we may eventually see one at our new edge of town feeders.- delia todd

Lighting the way
Otherwise known as "I missed"! On a June visit to Loch of the Lowes, I spotted a Red Squirrel in a tree, nicely posing there too. But as soon as I went to click, his whole body disappeared, leaving only his tail which was catching the rays of the sun through the leaves! Not to worry, though...- delia todd

When...
.... you can't find the subject through the viewfinder. I had to look for a landmark in the field (which was a bit distant). Aim for it, and hope the subject was in view and reasonably focused The landmark I chose was the thistle - I'd not seen the youngster on the other side of it until I...- delia todd

Two new friends
Last Saturday dawned bright and clear and very warm. A great relief as I was to meet Vincent and Agnes (username alphan) and take them around my area of Scotland and try to find some birds in this rather tricky season. This was taken early on our trip, on my patch "Up the Hill". They'd got out...- delia todd

Wing Display
The end of April we decided to try the Balintore road again, this time from the southern end up to the blockage. We stopped for a peaceful lunch break in a layby looking over a field with some sheep. There were some Eurasian Oystercatchers pecking their way around, but this one decided on a...- delia todd

Poor wee Coal Tit - looks like he's being dripped on LOL This was taken at our Mause feeders.
