Looking at birds and stuff around Wester Ross whenever I can

Watching the local cuckoos you can see them emptying the hairy caterpillars gut content to avoid ingesting toxins

At least 2 male and 1 female Cuckoo's busy in the area around our house just now (hairy caterpillarsin abundance). Also, there are a lot of unhappy Meadow Pipits.
No sign (or sound) of Grasshopper Warbler yet.

There's a flock of gulls feeding from an outfall near me. It's always difficult to see what's there due to the distance and the frenzy. So I phonescoped a video and slo mo'd it. Surprised to find in there 1 Glaucous 1 Med and 2 Iceland gulls.
One of them on the middle of this clip.
