Aberdeenshire; mainly birds, mammals, herps & selected inverts; often sidetracked ...
After more or less abandoning us over the last few weeks, the #squirrels are back at the feeders again!

Another #muirburn. They're at it again. Apparently legal at this time of year. Deeside yesterday.

Plenty of Daubenton's #Bats action at Cults reservoir this evening. Also *lots* of Common, Soprano and Nathusius' Pipistrelles. #thermalcamera

This is where a pair of Aberdeenshire #Nightjars are nesting & roosting. Not a great choice -a Red #Deer highway! Lucky the eggs/young didn't get trampled - or eaten by deer.

There was a #migration of Sandwich Terns inland overnight in Aberdeenshire on 23/24 and 24/25 July. Picked up on 3 #nocmig recorders.

Yet more Quail turning up. Seems to be a good year for them.
Nice recording here of both vocalisations.
