A handful of recent favourite #UKWildlife photos: a roebuck in Finlathen Park, a seal (and sea trout) in City Quay, a seal in Donmouth and a dipper in Danestone.

We recently enjoyed re-visiting our #OldAberdeen - #Donmouth walk, and have updated the guidance … 😀

(193) Old Aberdeen-Donmouth Circuit (Aberdeen City)
A gentle stroll that mixes town, and seaside, woodland and park, to create a hugely stimulating all-round experience. At every turn on the trail, history rubs shoulders with the natural environment…

All these buildings were cleared by the middle of the 20th century, and now we're left with this mound probably featuring some remnants of these buildings.

Out on on Donmouth #beach near #Aberdeen, a #bunker is just washing away… 🌊😮

#history #architecture #photography
On a sandy beach, a hexagonal bunker is sunk into the sand, one side tipped deeper than the other, and its roof separated from the rest. Two people are walking further along the beach, it's a cloudy day.

Casual birding at Donmouth today produced this pair of Gadwall and a rubbishy phone picture of them. Quite a scarce bird locally, but not quite as rare as the lovely summer plumaged Slavonian Grebe I saw nearby off Aberdeen beach.
#Birds #BirdingScotland #UKBirding
A pair of Gadwall are swimming to the right on a river, just beyond and area of mud and stones. The male Gadwall is on the left with a grey body and black rear. The female to the right is browner.

Not to reinforce any stereotypes, but it was so cold in Aberdeen yesterday that my drone refused to fly. So here are a few ground-level photographs instead. Breakfast at Mount, a walk along the beach at Donmouth, a lap of Woolmanhill and a visit to the Christmas market.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Fresh air and slightly less-than-fresh snow in Old Aberdeen today. I’d hoped to spot some deer or owls on the empty golf course, but it wasn’t to be. Lovely colours in Donmouth and Seaton Park though.
Snow-capped sand dunes on Aberdeen beach. A yawning, half-submerged seal on the banks of the River Don. A bullfinch foraging for bright red rowan berries. An aerial view of St Machar’s Cathedral and a snowy Seaton Park.

Out for an autumnal walk at Greyhope Bay, Aberdeen this morning with @btobirds.bsky.social to learn about the WeBS survey and practice some wader identification. #birdwatching
Spotting purple sandpipers along the breakwater at Greyhope Bay, at the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour. Checking views through the scope with notes in my Collins bird guide Met a surveyor from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology carrying out some monitoring of shags with number rings and got a sticker The panoramic view of the harbour mouth and the beach behind, stretching up to Donmouth Nature Reserve from the cosy Greyhope Bay cafe

Not convinced I got the best photographs this autumn (I took holidays too early and the better weather arrived too late) but there were a few brighter days to be had. And I suppose what really matters is I got some fresh air, exercise and enjoyment from taking them.
A carpeting of autumn leaves in a Geneva terrace. The browning hillsides of Chamonix, framed by towering snowy peaks. The Dundee Dragon statue collecting fallen leaves between its claws. The Donmouth Heritage Trail tunnelling through autumn trees to Danestone.

I did most of my owl-spotting at Kings Links Golf Course in Aberdeen towards the end of 2023, but I caught one last glimpse of them in early 2024. They’d started to expand their range slightly but still made the odd pass of Donmouth Nature Reserve.
