Edenside & Fifeness

We recently joined Fife Bird Club, which gives us access to 3 hides in Fife for club members only. So on Friday we decided to go to the hide at Edenside. It's a lovely hide with great vies over the Eden Estuary, however we should have checked the tides! Most of the birds were out at the waters edge, a million miles away, even difficult with a scope, lesson learned. 

Just Oystercatchers and Redshank were anywhere near, although we had some Pipits and Buzzard in the adjacent stables field. But we'll be back!

So we carried on down to the FBC hide at Fifeness, what a cracking hide overlooking the rocks and sea! However it was pretty quiet, just Cormorant and Shag flying through while we were there. We did get a nice show from some Rock Pipit in front of the hide,

There was a brief view of a Guillemot offshore, a couple of Eider,  plus Oystercatcher and Redshank on the rocks, but that was it. Still a great spot though.

Finally on the way home just outside Crail we picked up a couple of Grey Partridge, always nice to see.
