I went out with the thermal imager this evening to see if I could see where my cat was. Found a badger instead in the field behind my house @nesmammals.bsky.social

And a few days before I recorded this Barn Owl after hearing it screeching in the dark. All three clips filmed within 200 metres of home! #BirdingScotland

I recently acquired a thermal imaging monocular and ended up with a somewhat higher spec model than I intended (HikMicro Falcon 2.0). I've been pretty pleased with the results so far. Tonight I heard a Snipe drumming over the marsh below my house and managed to get this video.

Very pleased to hear a Long-eared Owl only 1km from home on my regular dog walking route last night. Only my third record in the area in 30+ years and the first time I've ever heard one singing. #BirdingScotland

A lady behind me was obviously only there for one song. She kept shouting for it, but it was always going to be the final song of the set.

I had a fun night in Glasgow at the weekend seeing rock legends Toto at the Hydro. First concert I've been to in a very long time and they put on a top quality show.
