Scotland Holiday Day 10: Isle of May 7th June 2016
Scotland Holiday Day 10: Isle of May 7th June 2016 We had booked a trip out to the Isle of May with Anstruther Pleasure Cruises some time prior to our holiday. I had, been on a couple of RIBs out to the island before but this makes photography a bit tricky when out at sea. This time we decided to go from the other side…

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”…

Scotland Holiday Day 7: Loch of Strathbeg 4th June 2016 At this stage of our holiday we were more oriented to family than birding but, of course, we always manage to find a way to introduce a little bit so we dragged the family to Loch of Strathbeg. The whole place is being done up but none of it was opened yet so there was…

Scotland Holiday Day 6: Bullers of Buchan 3rd June 2016
Scotland Holiday Day 6: Bullers of Buchan 3rd June 2016 We left Grantown rather regretting the missed birds, Crested Tit, Ptarmigan, Capercaillie, Black Grouse but we had got some nice birds and, indeed, a life tick so we couldn’t really complainn; especially since the weather had been so good almost all of the time. 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…
