Wow, Harry has now had 3 or 4 counts over 200 birds. The previous Scottish record was 175 in 2022. 😎

This juvenile made it all the way to Foula, in the Shetland Isles, 8 years ago & is still the only one i have seen in Scotland, got fond memories of seeing them in California too.❤️

Time spent in Andalusia at this time of year is always richly rewarded for dragonflies. Back home now, I'm already missing them... but they'll be there for my return next year with @mariposanature.bsky.social. #Dragonfly #Odonata #WildlifePhotography

A very decent seawatch from Carlingnose Point, N. Queensferry, this pm. The highlight a juvenile Sabine's Gull with a large flock of Kittiwake's. Two Bonxie, 50 Gannets & a few skeins of Pink-footed Geese. I managed a few record shots but most far too distant sadly. #birds @fifebirdnews.bsky.social
