(Nearly) A Seagull

I am determined that SOMEDAY I will get a good photo of a bird!

Until then, I can only offer photos like this... the seagull having just exited stage left...

Lo-Budget Remake Of "The Birds"

LOL... I was on the computer a few nights ago, and something outside caught my attention...

I looked out to see a row of starlings along the rooftops of the terrace of 4 houses across the road from me! They were evenly spaced out, all the way along... even on the chimney cans!

Just got this photo taken (didn't want to move in case I scared them) before they flew away to roost...


It was like something out of Hitchcock!

Gloup Wildlife

First photo by me, geese in a field next to the car park at The Gloup, Deerness (more on the Gloup later or tomorrow)... Typical for me, only one of the geese has got his head out!


And a photo my brother took of a chick in a nest in the Gloup... we weren't sure what kind of bird (s)he was, and thought it was a bit late in the year to be still sitting there, but we're no experts...
Hey, if Blackbike from Orkney Forums comes along here for a look, he'll be able to tell us!
