Wow Barry. A Peregrine from the living room window is one thing.. a WT Eagle is another. Fantastic birding spots. Do you think the Peregrine are nesting in the city spires?? I have seen two at Auchmithie on a fly-by once and always wondered if they are also in Arbroath spires..? I'm sure you're t...View More

Peregrine again this morning.

Well done with the nuthatches.
Barry Farquharson
Might be worth checking out Tayfield Estate on your side of the water, Angus.
Angus Duncan
unfortunately you don't have as much access as we uist to . But I will have a go.
Barry Farquharson
I did struggle to find out how accessible it was. Hawfinch probably not impossible either - though both them and Nuthatch would be a bit easier to see in Winter.

A Swift Drink.

While visiting Riverside Nature Park in Dundee, I noticed that a few Swifts were dropping down to the Lochan to drink. I really struggle to get usable photos of the species though that never stops me

Incredible, frankly. That's a spectacular photo.
Barry Farquharson
Thanks, Matthew. Couldn't believe it when I checked the back of the camera - had a feeling I'd possibly caught it, but expected it to be blurred or out of focus, or not drinking. Very pleased with it.
Matthew Hyde
They look nothing like what you expect to see, this photo especially, but it's also when you see them in a nest box or something. Their eyes and face are totally different. I think I'm expecting a slightly bigger swallow but they are nothing like it.

Lovely set of photos.

Thanks, Nick. There’s lots more from Sunday. I’m toying with just doing a post with the majority of Dipper, Heron & Coot photos (maybe the cygnets too). A sort of bonus post.
