An unexpected Red-breasted Meganser on this morning’s survey, where I’d anticipated Goosander. #Birds

A male Bullfinch above the feed station earlier today! One of the females is now confident coming onto the sunflower heart tubes. Whereas the males are still quite content to pick at the wispy tips of the Rowan tree, where the berries hung before December.

Starlings spooked and on high alert after a Peregrine stooped on something I couldn’t see. But the whoosh made me look up, to watch it then gaining height after not being successful. #birds #biggardenbirdwatch #nature

House Sparrows basking in the sunshine, after yesterday’s horrendous conditions here in Fife. #birds #nature

Goldfinches in the glow of the early morning sun!
Numbers have really increased since the beginning of the week at the main feed station, from a moderate ‘charm’ of twenty to forty plus today @btoscotland.bsky.social
