Weird coincidence I noticed earlier. All 3 lifers (birds I hadn't seen before) I've had in 2026 have 'ai' in name. Long-tailed Shrike, Quail & Baird's Sandpiper. Don't think I'll get a chance at Capercaillie. Citrine Wagtail probably best chance of others on the British List (still unlikely).

Another 2026 lifer for me (not Dundee, unfortunately) - Baird's Sandpiper at St Cyrus. Thanks to my pal, Rohan, for the trip up to see it. #BirdingScotland
I’d forgotten all about this, but as someone just ‘liked’ it, I’ll share it again.

Went back to try for a closer settled shot of the Migrant Hawker at Trottick Ponds today. Spent from 0845 till 1645, and was successful eventually thanks to a team effort with a few friends. Somehow managed a few bonus flight shots too. Well chuffed. #UKwildlife
Decided to try Trottick Ponds for Migrant Hawker (with their being multiple records recently from Fife), despite the windy conditions. Surprised (and pleased) to actually be successful. Thankfully it settled a few times, though relatively distantly on the edge of the island.

A few Skuas around in the Tay today between Tentsmuir point and the Glass Pavilion. Hopefully more activity as tide comes in further.
