Anthropologist at University of Aberdeen. Quite interested in birds and post photos, mainly from Girdle Ness in Aberdeen. Work on human-bird relations and things to do with conservation.
A Common Tern in Aberdeen Harbour earlier today.

I didn't expect to see a White-crowned Sparrow at Girdle Ness today, but here we are. Found by Raymond Duncan at Torry Battery at 9am but only IDed later. I refound it by the allotments just after 3pm. Something like the 12th British record?

It's a bit late in spring for Whimbrel to be passing through Girdle Ness, but this one has been wandering around the golf course for the past couple of days.

Swifts pulled the warmth with them to Aberdeen today, quickening spring.

At around this time of year, we sometimes get visited by the south Aberdeen pair of Ravens. This morning, their talkative calls drew my attention as they glided over Tullos Hill.

The Chiffchaffs were sticking close to the water at St Fittick's in today's cool conditions. These two shots are of the same bird, which shows how the tone of the plumage and legs can change with the light.
