A Grand Day Out
27th May 2026
There’s a fenced off area that is deliberately managed and planted and so is fenced off with deer fencing to protect those plants and trees which also makes it a great bird area. … More A Grand Day Out

Dreich days of December
13th Dec 2025
I may have mentioned before? It’s been really dreich here for ages now, possibly weeks. The sun peeps through now and again but essentially it has been grey, overcast, cloudy and pretty chilly, not great for photography, not great for walks but I’ve still been getting out and about. … More Dreich days of December

this article has taken me soooooooooo long to put together! Maybe the weather? Busy with other things? (I doubt it) Just one of those funks we sometimes get into but glad to have got there finally. … More Weekly Digest
They call me the Creeper
6th Nov 2025
I’ve just come to realise that there is a set of birds out there that only appear in the garden as the weather begins to decline, maybe not decline, the temperature drops perhaps. I’ve spotted a (the) Mistle Thrush a couple of times now, a pair of Brambling dropped in on Sunday & Monday and … More They call me the Creeper
Cedric & Calliope Dine Out
5th Nov 2025
I am very lucky to have a great selection of regular garden visitors to the feeders and now and then, a less common visitor might drop by but I don’t think I have any favourites, apart from maybe colouration making them more pleasing to photograph and share. … More Cedric & Calliope Dine Out

Up the Ericht
27th Jun 2025
The Ericht is the river that flows through the Scottish town of Blairgowrie. There’s a park and car park that we use when we visit the town, there’s a walk that follows the river upstream a mile or two and there can be some great birds on it as well as the possibility of an Otter sighting. (One in three years!) … More Up the Ericht
Not a great day of birding
24th Apr 2025
I went out for my patch wander yesterday April 23rd, it wasn’t a great day but I like to get out for a walk at least once a day. It was one of those days when the sun shone it was quite warm, when it didn’t it felt freezing so, I eventually decided a t-shirt … More Not a great day of birding
Our Garden Visitors (P)
12th Apr 2025
Well, who’d have thought it? No N or O birds visit gardens, certainly not this garden! So right on to P and there are a couple that drop by from time to time, keeping in mind, we live in the country and on a working farm. Pheasant Yes, we get Pheasant among our garden visitors, … More Our Garden Visitors (P)
Red Kite
11th Apr 2025
I was out for a walk today, up at the reservoir, probably my favourite walk. There were no cars in the car park when I got there, always a good sign for me. The sun was shining, the sky was mostly blue and a decent breeze was blowing. I was up here to spot the … More Red Kite
