jamamafegan Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Last weekend I saw not one but two Marsh Harriers for the first time on the Tay Estuary. Was delighted with that. Would be nice to tick off some Bearded Tits next but no luck so far on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This caught my attention as it brings back a cat we used to have when staying up outside Inverbervie. She loved you cuddlet and that in the house but she was a ferocious hunter. If she was out at night you were guaranteed that a present would be lefthe on the doorstep for the morning, birds,micespecially and even on occasion a stoat or weasel. I will always remember getting a taxi out at back of one one Saturday morning after being at the pub, to find the cat hissing and clawing at a bush and the sound of terrified squeaking from inside the bush. In the morning 3 dead mice at the doorstep. Edited July 2, 2018 by CaspianChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Wee bit blurry as I was using my phone. Sitting out the back with the kids whilst they eat dinner. The birds are getting quite tame at the feeder as we're only sitting less than 10 feet away.

As an aside, I mentioned ages ago on here that I had put a Nyger seed feeder up that the birds wouldn't touch. It helps if you take the plastic sheath (steady) out from inside it........

There’s a nest site near Aviemore everybody knows, it’s not hard to find. There are loads of Osprey nests even in Lothian & Borders but none as accessible as this one. Still need a 600mm lens though. All my close-up shots are at a fishery near Aviemore, again, common knowledge. I know a bloke who goes regularly to Loch Glow in Fife, another fishery. I went once but nae luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Whisper it but there's an osprey been seen on the Teith just south-east of Callander. My daughter and I spotted it a couple of times flying along the river. The river must open up into some bigger pools somewhere downstream. Or will ospreys take fish from a running river? There's a lot of white water so the fish must be hard to spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
