Hi from Scotland (1 Viewer)

[Joe Glencoe]

Hi,

I’ve decided, after living in the Highlands for 15 years, that I should try and slow down and appreciate what’s around me a bit more - and that it’ll be good medicine away from a stressful and demanding job. After a good few hours reading advice on here, I’ve ordered myself a pair of Nikon Monarch M5 8x42 binoculars, dusted off my thermos flask, and am looking forward to some peace and quiet in what is unquestionably one of the most beautiful places on earth.

I know we’ve had nesting Golden Eagles around here before, although I haven’t seen them for a few years. I’ve joined the SOC, but would welcome any advice on other good sources of info for bird and nature watching in Scotland.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Joe and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. All things Scottish can be found here. Also, keep an eye on threads titled something like Scottish Bashes; we try to meet up occasionally and they're always great fun. You'd be most welcome to join us on another if you can manage.

You may also be interested in checking our some of our Opus articles, which covers all the birds of the world and places you can see them. This is a direct link to the Scottish sites: Category:Scotland - BirdForum Opus. So I think BirdForum is the best place for information (may be a bit biased though )

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.
