Done with exams, tried the White Winged Scoter at Ruddons Point, dipped, but got nice views of Kittiwakes and Sandwich Terns. Female Redstart nearby was a nice surprise. Tried Kilminning after,well worth it, Spotted Flycatcher and a male Redstart showed briefly. Good start to the summer #FifeBirding

After dipping on it last night, I went back for the Woodchat Shrike near Pittenweem today. Had incredible views of it for a good while, as well as my 1st Wheatear of the year. #FifeBirding

Good walk with friends near Elie produced a Short-eared Owl and Wheatear. The last beach cricket match of the summer at Elie Beach delivered a flyover Crane! Lifer, and about annual in Fife! Great day out! #FifeBirding

Yesterday George headed to Loch Fitty as the weather was calm & clear. It was pretty quiet but still some fine birds to enjoy on a beautiful morning in Fife.

Great day at the Fife Bird Club sea watch outing yesterday at Fife Ness, nice to see some familiar faces. Pom (lifer), Bonxie, and Arctic Skua. Sooty Shearwaters, though the highlight has to be the Bridled Tern, incredible bird, and very kind of it to choose yesterday to be in Fife! #FifeBirding

Happy to finally connect with the Avocet on the Eden Estuary today despite the windy weather. Clear but distant views, my first time seeing one in Scotland. Plenty of Pink-footed Goose action, singing Skylark, and the usual waders and waterfowl. #FifeBirding

George & I had a grand walk around Townhill Loch this morning. A pair of Bullfinches stole the show. 40 plus Black-headed gulls, including at least one darvic ringed bird. Several Herring Gulls, including a few darker Scandinavian birds, also two Lesser Black-backed gulls. #birding

The Brambling was still present today in our garden hawthorn (Dunfermline). In the afternoon a quick check of the fields near Lochore MCP produced a flock of 112 Greylag, 25 Pink-footed Geese, a single Canada & 2 x Russian White-fronts (both 2nd cal year).
