Oystercatchers, knowing full well nobody believes they are busy catching oysters, always look like they are up to something nefarious. #Birds

Here's a new regular Cormorant from the Water of Leith. He regularly sits on this stick pointing the wrong way. #Birds

Another Kingfisher. I've named this one the Shitfisher because rather than put on a show, it bellyflops onto the water, splashes about a bit and somehow emerges with a fish. #birds

There's always an exciting bird to photograph if you can get as close to Rock Dove as you can tell amongst all the manky boys in Leith. #birds

Kingfisher. It's either a good photo or a bad photo. Either way I can't see out of one eye now. #birds

Day 5 of wearing my shutter out taking hundreds of pictures of the same bird. Some improvement. #WildlifePhotography

392 pictures of a Little Grebe and this was the best one.

Today's birding discovery is the Marsh Sandpiper looks almost exactly like a Greenshank. But not quite. Size comparisons useless as always as they refuse to stand next to each other. #BirdingScotland

Not just one, two! Spotted Redshanks.

Surprise of the day - this young Sandwich Tern's parent actually came back for it, much to it's screechy relief.
