STONEFACTION BIRDING: February 2026

1499 : Directional Change (7/2/26)

Red-breasted Merganser (with Eel?)

On the 7th of February, it was another wet Saturday but there appeared to be something resembling a bit of respite from around late morning with the rain forecast to peter out from about that time. My plan was to head out, have a look at City Quay then walk out to Broughty Ferry. With Slavonian Grebes still showing up in various places mostly in Fife, I was hoping I might be able to find one either at City Quay or out on the Tay. I headed out at 1110 but hadn't gone too far before it started to rain a little, which didn't particularly bode well.

Herring Gull, Magpie and Carrion Crow were all I managed to see, or even hear, before I reached City Quay just before 1130. Black-headed Gull, Cormorant, House Sparrow and Feral Pigeon were all noted as the rain got heavier. I managed to find a few Red-breasted Mergansers as well as both Grey and Pied Wagtails. Starling, Robin and an unexpected Song Thrush were spotted as I headed towards the outer part of the quay and the broken lock gates. There was no sign of the Kingfisher but I did manage to add Oystercatcher and while debating whether or not to head home, stick with my original plan of walking into the easterly wind to Broughty Ferry or perhaps heading instead to Riverside Nature Park, I refound the Guillemot near the footbridge.

I decided to head west along the river, rather than into the rain. The rain was forecast to go off at some point, but showed no signs of doing so, and after a few minutes walking, I reconsidered heading home. However, with the slim possibility of a Greenshank at Riverside Nature Park, I continued on out along the river. Blackbird ended up being my only other sighting (by the roadbridge) on the walk out to the Nature Park. I reached the park just before 1320. Thankfully, by then it wasn't raining quite as heavily. Herring Gull, Robin, Wren, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Siskin, Blackbird, Long-tailed Tit, Buzzard and Oystercatcher made for a slightly busier first 10 minutes at the park than I had been expecting.

More wandering found Jackdaw, Greenfinch, Great Tit, Pied Wagtail, Woodpigeon and a slightly surprising Mistle Thrush before I checked out the birds in the bay. There were plenty of Redshanks and Dunlin, as well as 4 Shelduck, Mallard, Teal, Black-tailed and Bar-tailed Godwits, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Cormorant, Curlew and Grey Heron. I managed to add a small group of Redwing and a Skylark was heard from somewhere high overhead but went unseen. There was a small flock of Greylag Geese half-hidden in the reeds over by the railway station. Having failed to see any sign of the hoped for Greenshank I did a bit more wandering round the park in search of something decent.

Blue Tit and Feral Pigeon were seen near the hide, before I picked up a distant Peregrine heading east away from the park. Chaffinch, Sparrowhawk, Coal Tit and 3 individual Pheasants (2 females and a male) rounded off things at the park taking my total there to 39 species. My walk home got me a handful of additional species with Long-tailed Tit, Great Tit, Goldcrest, Woodpigeon and Dunnock taking the total outwith the park to 21 species for a combined total for the day of 46 species, which considering just how unhelpful the weather had been, wasn't too bad. I was however rather glad to get home.

1498 : Out For Out's Sake (4/2/26)

Guillemot

On Wednesday the 4th of February, I was stuck at home, and also feeling a bit sick. There seemed to be Slavonian Grebes being reported from a variety of places in Fife. The thought that there might be one in City Quay niggled at the back of my mind. Was it worthwhile me taking a look? It was still wet and windy but there did appear to be a bit of a potential window of opportunity, though it was already around 1430 in the afternoon. If I was going to have a look I would have to make my mind up before I simply ran out of time (and daylight, such as it was on a very grey day). I decided to go for it. I knew the likelihood of there being a Slavonian Grebe in City Quay was fairly slim but given the weather there was the possibility of being something taking shelter there.

It was 1505 before I made it out the door. I still wasn't feeling particularly great and I wasn't entirely convinced that the weather window would remain open very long. Herring Gull, Woodpigeon and Feral Pigeon were seen in my street. The only other bird seen on my walk down to City Quay was a Carrion Crow. Things appeared rather quiet around the water park area of the quay with only a couple of Herring Gulls stood on the pontoons. Round by the footbridge I almost missed a bird that was actually sheltering from the conditions out at sea, and the river. A Guillemot - new for the year, and a very welcome find. A female Red-breasted Merganser could be seen further to the east.

House Sparrow and Robin were spotted by the flats, and there were a few Cormorants roosting by the broken wooden jetty. A couple of Blue Tits were working their way through the Buddleia bushes along the edge of the 'dry dock', but there was no sign of the Kingfisher. A pair of Red-breasted Mergansers were in the outer part of the quay. A Great Black-backed Gull was stood on the concrete block at Submarine Rock and I had a fleeting glimpse of a Rock Pipit as it dropped down off the harbour wall and out of sight. A Black-headed Gull flew past and there were a couple of Starlings calling from the edge of the roofs of some of the smaller buildings as I headed back to the inner quay again after checking the river.

A pair of Oystercatchers were huddled up on the broken wooden jetty. It had started to rain quiet heavily by this time so I headed homewards after getting a few more photos of the Guillemot. The walk home added Pied Wagtail, Magpie, Jackdaw, Goldfinch and a Grey Wagtail closer to home. These took my list for the short wander to just 20 species, though the 1 new species (in bold) had meant that it wasn't a wasted journey, and maybe a Slavonian Grebe might yet seek shelter in the quay as there appears to be no end in sight for this extended spell of uncharacteristically wet and windy winter weather we are having in 2026. The longer this weather lasts, the harder it is proving to get motivated to actually go out into it, though being stuck at home is no fun either. Once again, the conditions and overall lack of variety meant I didn't take too many photos.

1497 : Century Searching (28/1/26)

Red-breasted Merganser

With just 1 more bird needed to reach 100 species within January, leaving me 'only' 50 more to reach my target figure in the remaining 11 months of the year, and with a solitary day of calm and dry conditions forecast for one of my 2 remaining available birding days, I just had to decide where to go. There was a Greenshank showing from time to time at Riverside Nature Park. I still hadn't managed to get Jack Snipe, but Broughty Ferry and Balmossie seemed to offer the best chance of getting 'something', even if there were no 'firm' target species (unless the elusive Glaucous Gull was still around). Even if I didn't manage to get anything new, I would still have the last day of the month - the next Saturday to try again. On top of that, just being out in relatively 'normal' conditions felt like it would be a very welcome boost. Even better if the sun actually put in an appearance, or it stayed completely dry.

With decent conditions forecast, it wasn't too hard to get up and out although I headed out a little later than I had hoped to, at 0805. Herring Gull, Feral Pigeon, Black-headed Gull, Pied Wagtail, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw and Magpie got the day's list underway. Woodpigeon, Robin, Starling, Blackbird and Blue Tit were added between the Dura Street car park and the western gate at Baxter Park. The park added Song Thrush, Common Gull and Wren with Great Tit noted on Bingham Terrace. I chose to cut through Eastern Cemetery just in case the Ring-necked Parakeet was around. It didn't appear to be but Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Coal Tit, Goldcrest and Grey Squirrel did provide some variety. House Sparrows and overflying Oystercatchers were spotted at Balgavies Avenue. Things proved quiet between there and the Stannergate however.

With conditions rather calm on the river, I was able to pick out a flock of Red-breasted Mergansers off the end of the docks. A few Turnstones and Oystercatchers were by the water's edge. An adult Kittiwake in the 'bay' was nice to see. A young Mute Swan was seen in flight as I headed out along the river. I suspect it may have been the same young bird I'd seen previously at City Quay. The day's first Cormorants provided the only other addition on what was a fairly quiet walk out to Douglas Terrace, though I did find a Redshank on the shore by the lifeboat jetty. A skein of Pink-footed Geese heading over northwards, but despite better light there was no hidden Barnacle Geese in this particular group. A Rock Pipit was at the castle. I scanned from beyond the castle and despite the reasonably decent viewing conditions, birds seemed to be rather few and far between.

I picked up a fast-flying duck and watched it drop in off the beach a bit to the east, landing close to a Shag. It was a drake Long-tailed Duck but getting photos among the waves proved difficult, largely as a result of the distance. As is so often the case with Long-tailed Duck sightings off Broughty Ferry, the bird took off again after a minute or so. Thankfully, I had been viewing it through the camera when it did so, which meant I was able to get flight shots too. Mission accomplished - species number 100 and within the first calendar month. I continued on towards Balmossie, enjoying the weather conditions, adding a Collared Dove and a few offshore Wigeon on the way. The flock of Linnets were still flitting around near the brick shelter and when I stopped to photograph them, I was also able to add a few Bar-tailed Godwits to the list as well, as they flew low upriver.

At Balmossie, I was able to add a few more species - Goldeneye, Great Black-backed Gull, Eider, Ringed Plover and Curlew. I spent a fair bit of time scanning out over the birds on the shore and also had a few short chats to interested passers-by, including Mary, who I had wandered back towards the castle with the previous week. I stopped off at the harbour by the castle, where a young Grey Seal pup was hauled out. Stephen Neish, who I haven't seen for a while, was taking photos and we had a bit of a chat before the SSPCA turned up to check on the seal (which had looked quite active - I suspect it was probably just hungry and tired due to continuous rough weather and its relative inexperience). Things were very quiet overall on my walk homewards, as they often are. A Buzzard was seen in Eastern Cemetery and Swannie Ponds got me a selection of the 'usuals' - Mallard, Goosander, Greenfinch, Long-tailed Tit, Coot, Moorhen, Grey Heron and Tufted Duck, as well as the drake Shoveler taking my total to the day's birding to 52 species of birds, including my 100th species for Dundee this year (in bold), and 2 of mammals. Unfortunately, the nice weather chose not to stick around, once again.
