The Auld Haa Sighting Stone
This is where I list the interesting or migrant birds seen in or from the garden for passing visitors.
With my binoculars standing in my garden I could see Puffins flying by out to sea today.


Snow Bunting
 
Willow Warbler


That's a big white dove?
Glaucous Gull & Rock Doves

The Glaucous Gull is the rarest species I've seen in the last few days... but White Winged Gulls have been around for months, I was much more excited to have my garden buzzin' with the returning Blackcap, Chiffchaff & Willow Warblers today.

Everywhere Ewe look... awe... so cute!
