Retired, but still enjoying birds & all wildlife. Also, live music floats my boat.

My WEB'S site was fog bound, so I headed to the coast. Sadly, there was no smart Caspian at Leven but a nice adult Mediterranean Gull with a large number & assortment of gulls. A smart colour ringed Cormorant, met Mark Wilkinson, who got the ring details, not local ringed in Cheshire in June. 🌟

It appears the above Caspian Gull is a second individual to be seen at Angle Park. Just like buses. 😃 The original bird is attached

Went back to Angle Park in N/E Fife today to try & see the Caspian Gull again (only 2 accepted records in Fife, so still a rare bird). The light was very harsh, making it hard work trawling through over 1000 large gulls. I did pick it up eventually, but only poor record shots.

Another morning & another walk with wee George. We walked around Townhill Loch, but it was pretty quiet. 22 Canada Geese & a family of Mute Swans, loads of Mallards & Morhen & a few Herring, Lesser Black-backed & Black-headed Gulls, Grey Wagtail was nice. More fungi, too.

George & I had a grand visit to Angle Park in N/E Fife this afternoon. I was happy to see Simon Pinder's 1st winter Caspian Gull amongst the large gull flock. On our walk, we saw lots of Fungus & several Common Darter dragonflies.

George & I enjoyed a visit to the local cycle path. So much fungi growing, its clearly been a bumper year. Still Broad-leaved Helleborines in seed. Back home George got excited by a tiny baby hedgehog in our garden 😀

I was checking Geese around Lochgelly this morning. One large flock of Greylags with a few Pink-footed & 2 Whooper Swans. Two orange collard Greylags in this flock were ringed at Loch Leven in July by Les Hatton.
