The Razorbill is a bird I was very fond of when I visited their island in Scotland last year. Staple Island is an island where lots of seabirds breads. We were able to walk among them. The island was protected by park guards.

Now it is winter season. The little Coal Tit is back. Glad to see it. I never see it in summer or early fall. Glad somebody has a feeder so I can enjoy it.

This is a small rather dark goose with short and pink bill. And rare! There was a few on this location but this was the only images I was sure of the species.

As we don´t have much birds around now I thought I´g do through the birds from my trip to Scotland last year.

Koltrast - Turdus merula - Common Blackbird

About this birds I remember I didn´t really have time to shoot birds as we were leaving for an early morning trip to Aberlady Bay. It was only 6.15 in the morning and everyone was entering the car.  So, just a quick shot for documentation.

There are still only a few birds in the lake. Not at all the amount of migrating ducks there used to be. Maybe because the lake don´t have all that green stuff growing this year. The birds has nothing to eatand continue south.
A few juvenile Crested grebe still there and a Crow hunting for fish? Never seen that before. Is it common? Anyone know?
