Aberdeenshire bird sightings and hotspots (2 Viewers)

[Flycatcher 123]

I'm now around Aberdeen a lot, so I was wondering where the best spots were.
Maybe there are some not so well known.
Sightings for these places would also be good:
Loch of Strathbeg
Troup head
Ugie estuary
Newburgh/Ythan
Girdleness
Donmouth
Seaton Park
Fowlsheugh
Glen Tanar
Muir of Dinnet
Glen Shee
Loch of Leys
Crathes Castle
Drum Castle
Fyvie Castle

I'll start off with 2 water rail, 1 Jack snipe, 5 Woodcock, 5 Snipe, group of long tailed tits, robin and reed bunting at Loch of Leys.

Also, there's this thread for all your Girdle Ness needs:

Birds fae Torry

Good to hear there are some Jack Snipe and Woodcock about.

Just created a new thread on Birds and Birding section for NE Scotland Spring migrants this year! A bit early though!
