I’m going to use these pages to list and ID by photograph the birds that we commonly get visiting the feeders or the garden in general, I may create another page for those less common appearances. I will try to use only shots from the garden but will label any that aren’t but used as … More Our Garden Visitors (A-B)
It’s February 2nd and the weather isn’t that great but at least there’s decent light for my wanders and photography. I’m constantly saying it but it’s very true; we are so lucky with the bird and wildlife around us, I don’t even need to leave this seat sometimes and I can get great shots of … More Feeding in February
Into February It’s been a very varied but mostly wet and windy January / February, as I type this there’s a decent breeze blowing through and the wind and snow of the past few days drove a lot of birds to our feeders. Good for me maybe not so great for them? I was seeing … More Garden Birds 2025
In my memory this year hasn’t been great so far for clear night skies, sunsets or sunrise, not to say there haven’t been any, of course there has it just feels like we had a lot of cloudy or rainy nights and mornings. That said, I grab the opportunities when I can 🙂 Not a … More Through January

I’m hoping for a little more as the new year runs into Spring and Summer. I’m seeing more and more Treecreepers up there now. As I walked … More An end of year collection
Now that I’ve discovered Nuthatches up in this woodland, I’m up there pretty often trying to get good shots of it / them. On my first visit I counted c6 birds coming down to feed, since then I’m pretty certain there’s only one or two. I base this on the number of visits, how quick … More Celebrating the Nuthatch
Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)Â was in our news for a while and I’d been keeping an eye on when and where it might be visible in our skies. … More Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
August 29th 2024 – Off for a wander up the Ericht in Blairgowrie, we walk here fairly often and I’ve taken to spending more time on the banks now that I’ve seen Kingfishers, very briefly! So I parked up as usual, grabbed all the gear, often just one camera and headed up the path. Up at the … More Up the Ericht
