Broughty Ferry/Balmossie today - Adult Mediterranean Gull, Arctic Tern, 13 Little Egrets (flushed from Lucky Scalp) & Rock Pipit (possibly Littoralis race?).

Fairly disappointing visit to Broughty Ferry today - Eider, House Sparrow, Red-throated Diver & some Gannets. #BirdingScotland

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2016/10/ligh... Today was the 9th anniversary of my 2nd Red-flanked Bluetail find, in Denburn Wood, Crail.

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/10/1439... 3 days of relatively low effort birding, close to home. #naturewriting #BirdingScotland

An hour at Dundee Law this morning hinted that an earlier start might've been worthwhile with steady movement over - mostly Meadow Pipits, but also Siskins, Skylarks, Pied Wagtails, Chaffinches etc. Pics below - Sparrowhawk, Meadow Pipit, Kestrel and Bullfinch. #BirdingScotland

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1438... Egrets....I've had a few...but then again... #naturewriting #BirdingScotland

2 weeks ago today (16/9), I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time to see a Clouded Yellow butterfly - my 1st ever. Unfortunately I got 0 photos. Today I had an unexpected 2nd chance, albeit very brief, to get photos of this one at Broughty Ferry esplanade dunes. #UKwildlife

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1437... A longer than planned visit to Riverside Nature Park was productive in the end. #BirdingScotland #naturewriting

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1429... #birds A fire next door to Riverside Nature Park was still burning, days after being discovered...

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1435... #naturewriting #BirdingScotland Southeasterly winds around high tide helped add another species towards my 2025 Dundee 150 target figure.

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1434... A nice mix of birds at Riverside Nature Park in Dundee, were rather upstaged later in the day by another winged creature. #BirdingScotland #naturewriting

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1433... #naturewriting #BirdingScotland A trip to the Law, where it turned out Spotted Flycatcher was still lingering.

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1432... A very welcome surprise Dundee tick over Riverside Nature Park lifted the day's mood dramatically.

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1429... Riverside Nature Park again in the hope of adding Brent Goose to my 2025 Dundee150 list. #naturewriting #BirdingScotland

Got my 20th species of butterfly within Dundee this year (& ever) at Riverside Nature Park this afternoon, when a Clouded Yellow flew past as I chatted with Colin the Council Ranger & his colleague doing a bee survey. No photos as it wouldn't settle, but a big surprise 'lifer'.

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1429... A frustrating AND fairly productive visit to Broughty Ferry and Balmossie. #BirdingScotland #naturewriting

At least 2 Spotted Flycatchers at Dundee Law today. #BirdingScotland

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1428... A big fire meant a change of plan (and a surprise). #naturewriting #BirdingScotland

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1427... #naturewriting #BirdingScotland An unscheduled trip in the rain to get another new bird for my 2025 Dundee150 list.

stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1426... Another attempt to get a big total at Riverside Nature Park, where there had been a decent selection of waders, amongst other things... #naturewriting #BirdingScotland

A trip to Fife Ness for some actual seawatching.....(something I've not done for over a year, and it showed!) stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1424... #birdingScotland #naturewriting

#naturewriting #BirdingScotland While the Fife Bird Club Seawatching Day was happening 16+ miles to the south-east, I had to mostly make do with some waders... stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2025/09/1423...
