Dartford Warbler (2nd for Spurn!) By Chapel Cottage, viewable only from floodback via the Old Boat House in Kilnsea. #Spurnbirds @rarebirder.bsky.social

Brilliant pics as usual Tom.

I like Georgias list better though. Braver choices would have made for an amazing year in the garden. Yours while likely just seem safe!!

Still present today at East Wemyss per Kris Gibb

1 of 3 White-billed Diver. Also 2 GND and single BTD plus plentiful RTDs.

Whimbrel

Immature male Red-breasted Merganser

Razorbill finding the conditions tough

G8 couple of days up in #Fife btwn Ruddons n West Wemyss. Some nice totals of 1350 Eiders and 900 Velvet Scoter but just 9 Slav and single RN Grebe + low numbers of LT Ducks and RBMs. Best putative drake Stejnegers Scoter, drake WW Scoter and 3 WB Divers! @rarebirder.bsky.social #birdingFife

This is the other bird.

No different bird.

Drake White-winged Scoter at Dumbarnie links/carrick Villa reasonably close in. Brown flanks visible!! #birdingFife #rarebirdsUK @rarebirder.bsky.social

Anyone want to comment on this bird the current thinking is it’s not a WWS but either maybe a 3cy Stejnegers or Stej x Velvet hybrid #birdingFife @rarebirder.bsky.social

Lovely views of drake White-winged Scoter at Buckhaven carpark in choppy seas along with the cracking white headed Velvet. #RareBirdsUK Fife

Unfortunately just a sub species now. Robbery!!

I have always corrected birders errors to varying degrees of reaction. Mostly good and appreciated

Agree but 20 others have just liked the pics and no comments!

Must be me but I don’t see a pacific diver in these pics.

The new toilet & shower block at Kew Villa caravan site was moved into place today! Still a few weeks before it’s operational, but we’re not far from opening it up!

Thanks to #ukspf funding, we have been able to work on this project!
