There were lots of common terns using the raft for nesting at Loch Spynie. Nice to see a few juveniles on the water & adults taking sand-eels/sprats to their chicks. Great views of this grey heron flying past too.

More bowriding dolphins this afternoon. This time, accompanying Viking Venus as she departed Ullapool and Loch Broom. BBC Springwatch Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust Sea Watch Foundation Charlie Phillips Images 🐬 Hugh Harrop Wildlife Iona M.J. MacDonald – she/her BBC Highlands Conor Ryan

Both bar & black-tailed godwits at Alturlie yesterday. BTO Scotland Ben Darvill 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦 my waders session last week came in handy 😉 Also a large flock of Canada geese which I rarely see at Alturlie & a nice wheatear, don’t seem to have been many anywhere this season #PatchBirding

I made a homemade moth trap as part of my The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award skills. I put it out for the first time last night. I was really excited to find 11 moths this morning, 6 different species. Hopefully I have got all the IDs correct! British Moths #Moth #MothTrap #Scotland #ScottishHighlands

Had a White Tailed Sea Eagle flying by carrying something. Landed & ate before leaving remains - we think a rook/raven - anyone want to guess? Still impressed seeing them even after 14 years of regular sightings & always grateful to those who put in the work bringing them back.

More waders homework! This time ringed plover, sanderling & dunlin at Chanonry Point.

After a busy summer it’s time to catch up on some journaling. Back in June during BTO Scotland Bird Camp one of our activities involved looking for birds nests. We found a bullfinch nest, lots of dunnocks nests & a possible lesser whitethroat nest area.

The beetles have gone the same way, but their

I have put out the moth trap twice. I have found 7 large yellow underwing, the most common species in the garden so far. This black rustic was a nice addition to the list too. British Moths #moths #nature

2 definate minke whale this morning. Suspect a 3rd... lots of dolphins, porpoise, sea eagles, and think an Arctic skua - pretty fast.

Just had a new bird for the garden list. Very excited to see this chiffchaff flitting around the tree whilst I was eating my dinner! #BirdsSeenIn2024 #GardenBirds #TwitterNatureCommunity #Birds
