NE Scotland birder since Pontius was a pilot 😉
Following on from @andycarroll1973.bsky.social I came across this photo that I took at Rattray in April 1984. A Kentish Plover and amazingly one has not been seen in NE Scotland since!

After years of trying we finally saw John Coe and Aquarius off Lossiemouth yesterday. Long distance but great to see. Top of my bucket list sorted.😊

I managed to get a photo of Comet Lemmon this evening. It's the greenish blob between the two bright stars in the middle of the photo. #cometlemmon

A trip out to the Eastern end of the Moray Firth with Guide Charters out of Macduff gave us a close encounter with a Sooty Shearwater which stayed with the boat for over 15 minutes. Another highlight was a Pomarine Skua that did a fly-by. #birdingscotland

A couple of trips on the Ullapool-Stornoway Ferry resulted in lots of Common Dolphins, plenty of Minke Whales and a couple of Humpbacks.

Great to see a Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the garden today. Not quite annual here but always good to see. Too quick for a photo so here's one I took a few years ago. #nesbrec
