Based on the borderlands of Angus and Kincardinshire, with a viewing range from the Cairngorms to the coast, and everything in between, I may even be a rarity who has unwittingly ended up off course with a post here. If so, a re-direction would be much appreciated. Made my way down (literally and carefully) to long abandoned Little Johnshaven today. Arrived at 10.20, left at 12.20. 20-25 Guillemot, active on a rough and high tide. Herring Gull on the vertical faces, with the exception of 1 Fulmar. A pair of puffins appeared across the inlet, out and about on the water. Residents of Fowlsheugh, on an out of resort excursion perhaps? A pair of eiders bobbed about also, largely inactive and all the while, what appeared to be a Sparrowhawk dotted in and (mostly) out of view in the distance high above the cliff edge.Interested in catching a Garganey over the next month or so. Any points in the right direction would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.</blockquote>
