Rizzo Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Had a nuthatch on my feeder today. Not really one you expect to see in the middle of Falkirk. Of course my SLR was upstairs and as soon as I moved it was off again. Hopefully he or she will return though npw that it knows theres food always available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite photo and they’ve fucked off again. Thrush sized, white speckled belly. Brown backs. Last seen heading towards the Law. Redwings maybe? Chinese drones IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Does anybody else notice that as soon as a hedge gets cut, or a fence gets pulled down, that there will always be a robin on scene straight away (irrespective of where you are in Scotland)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Scored a lifer yesterday when I finally got up to see the long-staying first-winter Iceland Gull at Hogganfield Loch...I'd imagined it might be a case of Where's Wally among several hundred other gulls, but it turned out to be incredibly easy to pick out mainly due to the fact it spent most of the time I was there no more than 20 feet from the shore...for an Arctic bird it's obviously gone native as it was happily wolfing down half a Morton's roll at one point. Not my photo, but this is a shot of the same bird taken yesterday and posted elsewhere: Edited February 18, 2021 by Hillonearth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I've had a nice song thrush and a few wee birds hanging round in the garden at the moment. Not seen the nuthatch again though so I'm guessing it was only here because the snow was so bad and it was struggling to find food. I'd really like a new camera, my current one is so dated. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dyce) Is that not a goosander rather than a mergancer? We've a few on the canal just now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
