Hey guys,

Up to 113 with a trip to Forfar Loch yesterday where Bean Goose, Scaup, Kingfisher, a flock of 30 winter Siskin and the first Goldcrest of the year were seen. The Bean Goose was only my second ever so it was a top quality bird to see.

Alex, best of luck with visiting Scone Palace!

did you c the wf goose

 

[Joseph N]

no I didn't, nor the Black-throated Diver. Strange that the BTD wasn't there cos that was the bird I most expected to see. The White-fronted Goose wasn't amongst any Greylags and no sign of any Pinkfeets on the Loch. The odd flock flew over. Bean Goose was lovely though. Congratulations on a great day Alex.

Competition, Jonny, competition. Its fine to be competitive, don't worry. I have it on you by 1 species, but I'm sure you'll go ahead cos I probably won't be birding for a couple of weeks now unless something interesting turns up. Well done on the American Wigeon, that's a fantastic bird!

That's strange Alex, and a pity your Dad couldn't confirm it for you. I wonder where it was yesterday cos my Dad and I checked thoroughly for it. Maybe it was the weather. You never can tell with birds can you...

 

[Birding Bob]

Hi Jonny please change my total to 140. I added Red and Black Throated Diver yesterday.

 

[Halcon]

Just a question. Do you have friends of your age who like birding?
Because I don't

 

[Jonny721]

To answer your question none of my friends fom school are interested in birding at all. I have some friends however who I have met through birding.

 

[Joseph N]

Hi no-one at school or any of my friends are birders themselves. A couple of friends take very minor interest but more on the biological and taxonomical side of things rather than birding itself. I don't think there's any other people like me of my age in the city of Aberdeen, except Calvin of course, although he's a year younger.

Nope, not from School at all.:C
