With a good forecast for the weekend, looking to do the two Easains from Fersit, anyone else planning on these two or does anyone care to join me?

Juvenile wheatear for no. 1 looks right!

Hi,

The best looking day dawned with no improvement, deci...

Arrived early with a great deal of apprehension, got kitted up and set off with fingers crossed for the forecast improvement in the weather later in the morning. $matches[2] On to the path and the rain was holding off, very wet underfoot. $matches[2] Out of the trees, heading up towards the Bealach ...

Hi,

The Scottish Gamekeepers Association has gone to great lengths here to appear reasonable in the defense of their "Sport". However, reason is not something which tends to translate into actions to address some of the issues that arise from this activity. This sector goes to great lengths to...

Driven grouse shooting is unsustainable (therefore need for medicated grit, exhaustive predator control and muirburn to maintain high numbers of grouse), uses a lead in cartridges which is a heavy metal which has all manner of environmental/health concerns (hence why it has been removed from many ev...

I agree with most of the suggestions:

1. Wigeon
2. Little Grebe
3. Moorhen
4. Female Goosander (due to contrast between head and neck)
5. quite dumpy so I am leaning towards juv Wheatear or juv Stonechat
6. Golden Eagle
7 Common Buzzard

Well done!! Excellent pics. Neither of the birds appear to have tags which in the past SNH and RSPB have been fitting. Where abouts did you take the photos? We have two eyries and resident pairs near us in mid Argyll out on the Islands and another sight which has been abandoned this year, sadly. So...
