Sixteen high ISO photos from a week of gloomy weather

The best at the start and then some of the rarer visitors and finishing off with some photos from Montreathmont Forest taken during my visits to check and fill the feeders. As you can see the Goshawk wasn't seen on one of the dull cold days this week.

Latest videos including Iceland Gull, Puffins and Green Woodpecker, click here,


Goshawk, thought to be a 2nd plumage bird, another photo showed the upper wing to be brown


Goshawk


Iceland Gull 1st winter, Forfar Loch


Some of the Puffins still have dusky heads, not fully moulted into breeding plumage


Five of nineteen seen near Auchmithie


Fulmars near Auchmithie


Keptie Pond, Arbroath 
Grey Heron with a rather ambitious branch for nest building


Tufted Duck, lured from the water by seed, someone obviously knows not to feed bread


Tufted Drake with a serious look


Montreathmont Hide
Dunnock in the gloom below the feeders


Goldfinch, not many around probably due to the mild winter, finding plenty of food elsewhere


Long-tailed Tit


Long-tailed Tit


Siskin female, this one and it's mate below seem to be the only Siskins coming in


Siskin male


Yellowhammer, on the feeder for a change instead of picking at the seed the others throw away
