Scotland Holiday Day 9: RSPB Fowlsheugh 6th June 2016
Scotland Holiday Day 9: RSPB Fowlsheugh 6th June 2016 We left New Deer on the 6th and, as usual, we dropped in at RSPB Fowlsheugh which is a convenient stopping point once you have got south of Aberdeen. It was another fine day and this place never ceases to astonish. It surely must be one of the best places to see nesting Fulmars but that…

Scotland Holiday Day 8: Ythan Estuary at Newburgh 5th June 2016
Scotland Holiday Day 8: Ythan Estuary at Newburgh 5th June 2016 Again this was a family day but, again, we got some birding in. My family, despite living just a few miles alay from Newburgh, had never been to this part of the estuary and on a blazingly hot day they were captivated by it. We started off at the parking place at “The Inches”…

One great tick we got on our way was a pair…

Scotland Holiday Day 5: Anagach Forest, Loch Garten, Lochindorb and Nethy Bridge 2nd June 2016
Scotland Holiday Day 5: Anagach Forest, Loch Garten, Lochindorb and Nethy Bridge 2nd June 2016 I started off the day with a walk in Anagach Forest but didn’t get any Cresties. I did get a lot of pictures of Red Squirrels, some of which should be OK. I also got a couple of longer distance shots of a Willow Warbler singing. I returned to the…

Scotland Holiday Day 4: Strathdearn and Loch Ruthven, 1st June 2016
Scotland Holiday Day 4: Strathdearn and Loch Ruthven, 1st June 2016 We started the day off going to the Findhorn Valley (actually Strathdearn) with the idea that we might see some Eagles. On our way down the valley a Roe Deer jumped out in front of our car from our right, turned and looked at us and then smartly jumped out of the way to…
