That was January!

 So one month down already. I've just a few things to wrap up for the month.

We went for another look at the Waxwings at Sighthill in Edinburgh before they move on (in fact they are still there as of yesterday) The day was very dull and they weren't about. Of course someone else had seen them earlier, but thanks to Facebook we learnt that they had relocated a few hundred yards down the road, where there were still some berries, so off we went. As I said it was dull day so not the the best photos:







This Mistle Thrush tried to drive them off from the berries and succeeded at first but gave up after a while.






Elsewhere:

Lochore Meadows ("The Meadies")

Another dull day and quite quiet, Goldeneye and Teal being the highlights;




A walk at Seafield (Kirkcaldy),

Pied Wagtail,

Long-tailed Tit
A Ukranian Patrol Boat, presumably training in the Firth of Forth,
The Tower in the sun,
Gulls and Oystercatcher,
our first Red-breasted Merganser of the year,
Redshank having a stroll,
and Redshank having a get together!
Finally a very very quiet walk at Burleigh Sands with just a Goldcrest jigging about in the pines.
