An unfortunately dead water shrew at Wilderness yesterday evening. Such a cool looking animal. My fourth dead one, still to see a live one.
Some pics from a week on the Isle of May. With @JohnSNadin54 and @SteelySeabirder
Watched this otter hunting ducks at Morton Lochs on Saturday. Caught and killed a teal. @NatureScot

The Dutch have surrounded a group of England fans in Dortmund and started playing “Hey Jude” with them.
Great to see both sets of fans enjoying the day creating a fantastic atmosphere together. 👏

Scenes at Edgbaston where India are playing Pakistan but people are watching the England game.
2 sets of rival supporters united by their love of England!

After an intensive fight in the #wild, yellow-throated #marten dragging its prey- #leopard_cat; martens are very agile and fearless #predators, while leopard cats are also very ferocious in defense.
Friday afternoon I had a bit of overtime to use up, so 30 minutes birding, saw a rat and a pochard x tufted duck hybrid, then it poured with rain. Best use of lieu time ever.
Another visit to the beavers at Birnie Loch on Thursday evening and some red squirrels on Morton Lochs today.
Saw this lovely clump of globeflower at Clatto Reservoir, Fife this afternoon. #WildflowerHour
Lovely sunny weekend. Eiders and dunlin at Ruddons Point yesterday. Tree pipit at Drummy Wood this morning and a small pearl-bordered fritillary at Clatto Reservoir this afternoon.
After many evenings, certainly over a hundred in the last few years, wandering around Tentsmuir and Earlshall Muir hoping to see a pine marten. Tonight success. Good views for about a minute running around the edge of woodland at Earlshall.

After work twitch for the four spoonbills found by @NijmegenBirder at Guardbridge. Mostly in seen in flight. Flying on to the saltmarsh, then leaving SE towards St Andrews. Very few spoonbills stay over the high tide on the Eden.
Three Fife ticks in 24 hours. Following Friday's stone curlew. Nightjar and great reed warbler in the East Neuk. Thanks to the finders @TomBeckett02, @georgedunbar_ and @derek_artist. Back 15 months to the scoters for my last.
