I saw this line bird on the #RiverForth in #Stirling. I think it is a grebe but it has quite dull plumage . Can you please help? Thanks
The beautiful light on the #RiverForth looking out to #Edinburgh from the #Silversands beach #Aberdour #Fife 😎☀️🏴💫
Spot the time when the thaw started. 4.5m rise in the #RiverForth here in 24hrs. River here is usually 25 yards across; not now.
Lots of the #Beaver dams debris getting washed down… yet again. 🤷♂️
An exceedingly bossy Blackbird trying to keep all the other birds away from the fallen seeds out of the feeder for #FirstBirdOfMyDay.
A #RedSquirrel had just visited so there had been a lot of spillage.
#RiverForth still had frozen patches - though “warm enough” (?) to get some sprinkling of snow.
Watching a sliver of a sunset down by the water. Camera wasn't ready to catch the seal that came by and snorted its indifference at me, but appreciated a few moments of #Twixmas calm down at the old harbour.

A sunny winter walk to Stirling Old Bridge yesterday.
Noticed the riverbank plants had been cut back — maybe it’s been a while since our last visit.
The light at 1pm already felt like late summer evening, with darkness coming by 3. 🌉❄️ #scotland #riverforth #winter
Black and white photograph taken from the walls of Stirling Castle. The image is dominated by an attractively-roofed guard turret, just left of centre-frame, that protrudes from the top of a wall extending from the foreground in the lower-left of frame. In the distance, far below, and occupying the right-hand side of the image, a narrow river winds through a grassy and lightly wooded landscape. This is the River Forth, more-or-less where the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought in 1297. The battle was a decisive victory for William Wallace against the forces of England's King Edward I under the command of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. At the start of the battle, the castle was occupied by the English, but was recaptured by the Scots shortly thereafter. The defences shown in the image post-date these events by a few centuries.

A landscape view of a village by the sea. In the foreground is the shadow of the photographer, which is cast onto grass. The beach stretches ahead with a stream running through the middle. There are cottages in the distance and a grey/blue sky above.
Friday #scape is land sea and me, looking out over the beach at #Pittenweem in the #EastNeuk of Fife, Scotland.

#Geese lifting off from one of their favourite spots here, the sheep- & cattle-grazing pasture on either side of the #RiverForth, though about a 1/3 were on the Barley stubble.
Mostly Pinkfoot, but there were Greylag, Canada and some Barnacle earlier. #LastBirdOfMyDay.
#Meiklewood. #Stirling #Birds
Extraordinary numbers of #Geese here now, more Pinkfoot than Greylag, and some Canada Geese.
Skein after skein flew in; this was 2hrs after they had started to arrive into this cut hay field and the grazing pasture on the other bank beside the #RiverForth.

#Beaver Boy No. 6 (could be No. 9 from the group downstream) is very happy that the #RiverForth is up ~1.5m after a couple of days of rain upstream West of us.
Can now easily access one of their favourite patches of Willow (they haven’t left many; used to be 8 trees there).
#Heron having a feast on fish coming up for the evening rise (seen some hawthorn hatch).
Hunting from a favourite perch, on a tree stuck in the middle of the #RiverForth here, is one of the ones felled by the #beavers round the bend, the heron caught 6 fish.
So much #insect life around the river.
A digital image created form an original sunset shot of the view along the River Forth in Alloa and towards the City of Stirling. Stirling Castle has become enveloped in futuristic buildings at twilight. Everything is cast in orange light. A flock of geese are flying in low over a single fishing boat facing into the centre of the view. Some Star Wars spacecraft are flying into the scene and behind the clouds and faded thorugh the atmosphere a giant Death Star sits on the horizon.
May the Forth Be With You. Alloa ways.
Trying out some non-AI compositing on a favourite photo of mine from back in Dec 2022. Taken from the old #Alloa harbour and looking up the #RiverForth to #Stirling at sunset.

A seal surfacing from the cold dark water of the River Forth in Stirling

A calming photograph of a River scene just after a winter sunset. Two anchored fishing boats on the left of the frame point towards the city skyline of Stirling, Scotland as the lights begin to flicker on. A small black shape shows next to the boats, as a seal surfaces to breath and swims towards them.
New buoy appeared at a favourite #Photogrpahy spot on the #RiverForth near #Alloa harbour. Not sure if it's just a marker or if it's monitoring oxygen levels as they have done here in the past. Either way, there seems to be enough to keep the seals coming back for a feed. A bit camera shy though.
Pulmonaria flowering in a woodland garden in Stirling. It is an early bloomer but December is really early
@bsbibotany.bsky.social #pulmonaria #lungwort flowering early in #Stirling. Naturalised in a public space, a woodland garden by the #RiverForth
A photo of the sunrise across the water. There’s a large bridge like steel structure in the image. There’s sun is reflected in the water. The overall image is covered in warm orange light.
Happy weekend 😎 get your camera out and get clicking 🤩

A willow tree felled by beavers working on the River Forth in Stirling.
There are #beavers on the #RiverForth in the middle of #Stirling. I saw and heard this willow fall today. They are so efficient
An atmospheric pink tinged photograph taken not long after sunset and the almost synchronised moonrise. Shot at a low angle from the edge of the River Forth as it winds east and towards the Abbey Craig with the Wallace Monument and almost full 'Beaver Moon' reflected in the still waters. Framed by autumnal trees becoming more bare as most of their foliage has now fallen
Almost a full beaver shot.
Moonrise reflected in the #RiverForth and above the #WallaceMonument as I left work behind for the week.
Full #BeaverMoon appears tomorrow, but clouds forecast here.
