A few of my birding highlights captured over the past month.
Isle of Iona, Scotland - 25th to 26th May 2026
From top to bottom: Meadow Pipit, Wheatear, Song Thrush, Skylark, Hooded Crow, Sanderlings
Great Crested Grebes
RSPB Lochwinnoch Reserve, Aird Meadow, Scotland - 16 May 2026
From top to bottom: Shoveler, Little Ringed Plovers (record/distant shot), Common Sandpiper, Spotted Flycatcher (record shot in poor light)
The first breeding pair of Canada Geese at the pond. The local male Mute Swan proved to be aggressive reulting in the geese spending most of their time out of the water. Only one gosling has survived.
