My first ever Great Grey Shrike, sitting on a branch @ the Muir of Dinnet NNR, Aberdeenshire! May turn out to be my bird of the year  |

Always a fantastic bird to see. Haven't caught up with one yet this year. |

Big flock of lapwings over Stanhope moors today - perhaps 200 birds. I think Spring is here!!

Any one of a dozen Bramblings, they seemed to be feeding on Beech Mast . |

Woo-hoo. My first Shelduck  Mud-flats at Kingoodie by Dundee.Dozens of them actually! They're handsome beasts and have usurped my former favourite duck, the Eider.
Also a fair few curlew and waders too far out on the flats for my 10x50's.Considering I was having a half hour skive from work, am well chuffed.

Short Eared Owls! The three hunting close to Capel Fleet today. And the three reported hunting at Shellness at the same time: myself and the guy who watched the other three compared notes and times to confirm there were indeed six owls there.
"My" three never got close enough for a decent photo. But watching them was wonderful as always.
Interesting that other reports I have read show sudden fluctuations in SEOs over wintering in the South.
Cheers,
Bryan

The pair of jays again- regular visitors to the garden now, and I always love seeing them. |

Just seen a sleak, dark cormorant, diving very close to the shore. Amazing how far it travelled underwater in each "dive", as it made its way along the coast.
