For years I have hoped to photo a Woodcock. They turned up in my garden every Winter but always spotted me before I saw them. Finally this January I was able to sneak up on this one to get my one and only photo of a Woodcock.

Went down to Crail today (08/07/2026) to see the Long-tailed Shrike. After 1 1/2 hours it finally showed. Good views through the scope but distant for the camera. Nice to meet Nick Littlewood @blackdogbirder.bsk.social and Aiden Branch.

Definitely more than one but repeat visits are quite possible.

Back of camera shot doesn't do it justice

Bringing in food today 😔

A few of us 'Old Farts' saw the first one.😉

Tim Marshall @twmar.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

It looks very bulky for a Weasel and the tail looks very bushy.

I finally caught up with the Walrus this afternoon after much chasing around NE Scotland.

Tim Marshall @twmar.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Stejneger's Scoter off East Wemyss, fairly close in. #birdingscotland

Tim Marshall @twmar.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

No luck sadly, blowing a hooliie and choppy sea made getting decent views of the Scoters impossible.😕

Tim Marshall @twmar.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

@fifebirdnews.bsky.social I 'm heading down for the Stejneger's today. Any info on best place to look would be appreciated. Cheers Tim

I got the Chimney Swift, dipped on the Nutter. Win some lose some 🙂

It is amazing to have Pine Martens around but give me Barn Owls every time.

020

Tim Marshall @twmar.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Sad news that our Barn Owls that have bred in the garden since 2019 have been driven away by a Pine Marten! I checked the nest box and it contained 2 part eaten Wood Pigeons. Fortunately there is no sign that the Owls have been predated. #birdingscotland

A walk in the sunshine produced a pair of Grey Partridges (scarce here), a Peacock butterfly (temp 2C!),5 Roe Deer and 3 singing Skylarks. 🙂

Eight of the ten Bar-tailed Godwits at Rattray this morning. A good count as there are usually only a couple there. #birdingscotland
