After years of knowing I need to get up to Sax-Zim bog I finally made it! Temps were much better than anticipated, but the number of birds much lower. Holy cow. You can drive around for hours and see only 5 species.
Big target was Great Gray. And we saw one. 1/2 mile back from the road barely even Id-able through a scope. So, I will need to go back.
Despite not getting the dreamed about owl experience, it was really cool to see birds I've rarely ever seen. This is only my third ever Redpoll. Yes, I've led a sheltered, warm-weather life :)
Common Terns can be quite abundant on the Forth Estuary with local breeding colonies at Leith Docks and Skinflats Ponds near Grangemouth (artificial rafts). In late summer and the autumn numbers build as more northern birds pass through on their southwards migration.
It is always impressive to see these fascinating birds hunting.
100% nature!

Common Yellowthroats live in thick, tangled vegetation in a wide range of habitats—from wetlands to prairies to pine forests—across North America. They forage on or near the ground, eating insects and spiders from leaves, bark, branches, flowers, or fruit in low vegetation. Although it sometimes hides in the thickets, its low rough callnote will reveal its presence. The male often perches atop a tall stalk to rap out his distinctive song, wichity-wichity-wichity.

Wikipedia: The common ostrich (Struthio camelus) or simply ostrich, is a species of large flightless bird native to certain large areas of Africa. It is one of two extant species of ostriches, the only living members of the genus Struthio in the ratite order of birds. The other is the Somali ostrich (Struthio molybdophanes), which was recognized as a distinct species by BirdLife International in 2014 having been previously considered a very distinctive subspecies of ostrich.
