After a one week journey to the IGM in Scotland I'm now back home. The week has been fantastic with a lot of nice birds, people and talks! Three Glaucous Gulls and four Iceland Gulls are some of the gulls seen. Photos will start to come up tomorrow!
Several thousands of Pink-footed Geese. Lots of Purple Sandpipers, Redshanks, Turnstones and Shags is also fun as well as Stonechats.
Razorbills, Guillemots, Fulmars and Gannets occupied the sea.
For a Swede like me I also met the spring over there! Singing Song Thrushes, Dunnocks, Skylarks and so on. Quite a lot of yarelli Wagtails is also very enjoyable!
I stayed at the absolutely lovely Carrick Guest House in Peterhead. Very affordable and the couple who runs it were very kind! If you are interested in staying there I've put the contact info below:
