STONEFACTION BIRDING: March 2026

1507 : Eastenders (28/2/26)

Cormorant (Sinensis race)

It has been a while since I last wandered down the Dighty Burn, so to round off February I decided to do just that. There would be no great rush, I would try for Ring-necked Parakeet at Eastern Cemetery and at Dawson park later, then look for the White-billed Diver down at the Tay on my walk back homewards but overall my expectations really were on the low side. With no great hurry to get anywhere, I would just take my time and see what I could find (which would hopefully include something good, and new for my #2026Dundee150 list). I got organised and was ready to head out just after 0810.

With absolutely no hurry to be anywhere specific and an intention to be out for most of the day, I decided I would take a rather meandering route and spend as much, or as little, time as necessary at any particular spot. Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Herring Gull and Woodpigeon got the day's list underway, followed by Feral Pigeon, Blue Tit, Carrion Crow, Magpie and Blackbird as I headed for Clepington Road. I detoured via Mains Terrace but found nothing new there except Jackdaw and a Sparrowhawk which I didn't notice until it flew out from the tree it had been perched in. Between there and Swannie Ponds I managed to get Robin and Dunnock for the list. Swannie Ponds turned up the expected species - Black-headed Gull, Mallard, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mute Swan, Common Gull and Goosander as well as Starling and Chaffinch and as I was leaving the ponds a Grey Wagtail was seen.

I headed for Eastern Cemetery next where Coal Tit, Goldcrest, Greenfinch, Bullfinch and Oystercatcher were all found. A pair of Collared Doves were perched on a chimney as I headed up Douglas Road across the road from the back of Asda. I reached the Dighty Burn around 0915 and wandered slowly along the path eastwards. There didn't appear to be much activity though Jay, Long-tailed Tit and Dipper were found. I spotted a small group of Roe Deer and watched from a distance as a couple of them groomed each other, even managing to get a short video clip of this interaction. Continuing on again got me Buzzard, Pheasant, Pied Wagtail and Great Tit. A couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls were seen on the roof of the former Michelin factory buildings. A Song Thrush was singing from a burn-side tree as I wandered along the track south of West Pitkerro Industrial Estate. A Cormorant was a bit of a surprise stood by the burn in the fields to the east. A Great Spotted Woodpecker was seen a couple of times in the trees by the Murroes Burn.

There was a large mixed flock of gulls, Jackdaws, Rooks, Curlews, Oystercatchers and Woodpigeons in the field along with the Cormorant but I failed to find anything more interesting than a couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls. A Wren and a Treecreeper were heard and a Stock Dove flew over, and a skein of Pink-footed Geese were seen distantly. I had a lengthy chat with a lady who was 'foraging' for some Wild Garlic by the burn and while we were talking I heard a Skylark calling. It took around 20 seconds before I managed to pick it out, still a few hundred metres away, but it did then fly directly over us before heading back northwards. I decided to try Dawson Park next, in the hope of encountering the Ring-necked Parakeet which has been seen there, and in the general area, recently. I was surprised to see a trio of Great Spotted Woodpeckers flying very high above the park, chasing each other and calling, before they dropped down into a stand of mature trees near where I was.

I ended up spending around 90 minutes watching, photographing and pointing the birds out to interested walkers and cyclists, most of whom had never even seen a woodpecker before. One lady had actually seen the Parakeet recently, hanging around with Woodpigeons, which was encouraging news. Redwing and Siskin were both noted while I watched the woodpeckers (which turned out to be 2 females and a male) before I decided to move on to the Tay to see if the White-billed Diver was around. I reached the river at 1400 and quickly found a group of Eider. I had a chat to two birders who were scoping for the Diver but who had so far had no luck. I wandered along towards the castle to check from there where a birder/photographer from Aberdeen who had seemingly seen the Diver earlier in the day, said the Diver couldn't be upriver as it would have to swim against the river flow as the tide went out. Despite me telling him that Lainy and I had seen the bird doing exactly that multiple times during its stay, he was rather dismissive of the possibility. II had great close views of a Sinensis Cormnorant in breeding plumage as it fished in the harbour by the castle and I did manage to get Rock Pipit for the day before setting off westwards again.

Things were otherwise rather quiet out along the river though I did eventually see Redshank and Turnstone as well as a Red-breasted Merganser. Unfortunately, there appeared to be no sign of the White-billed Diver along the river or over towards Tayport and it was not seen again (as far as I'm aware). By now my legs were starting to feel a bit heavy. There didn't seem much point in heading home via Eastern Cemetery and either Baxter Park or Swannie Ponds, so I decided to wander along the Docks Way cycle path to City Quay instead. What was likely the same pair of Kestrels I'd seen flying in that direction previously were seen perched in a tree in the docks. As I was watching them, I got into a conversation with a Chinese guy, Roy, who was walking his young child and who stopped to ask what I was seeing. It turned out he was a birding friend of Mathieu Soetens (who happened to be in India, and who Roy was actually messaging before he stopped to ask about the Kestrels). I told him I knew Mathieu and to say 'hi' and Mathieu messaged me directly, to say 'hello' back and 'small world'. As we were both going in the same direction anyway, Roy and I wandered back along to City Quay, blethering about birds and birding before going our separate ways. I headed home rather wearily, having managed to find a total of 56 species of birds, and 1 of mammals in exactly 9 hours worth of birding.

1506 : Morning & Midweek (21/2/26 & 25/2/26)

Siskin

With a delivery due sometime after 0955 and decent weather forecast, I wanted to try to squeeze in some birding before my 2 long-awaited books arrived ("Discovering Scotland's Butterflies" and "A Photographic Guide To Flies Of Britain And Ireland") on Saturday the 21st of February. I decided on an early start to try to get Jack Snipe at Trottick. I wasn't particularly hopeful that I would actually be successful but at least I had a reason to get out, with a possible addition to my #2026Dundee150 list as an incentive. The downside was that I would have to be home after only a few hours worth of birding.

I was out the door just after 0645. Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Herring Gull, Robin and Wren were all noted as I headed for Caird Park. A Song Thrush was added before I crossed the Kingsway and an Oystercatcher was heard calling loudly as I waited for the lights to change. Goldcrest, Magpie, Kingfisher and Mallard were all found within Caird Park along with Roe Deer and Rabbit. Woodpigeon, Jackdaw and Great Tit were added as I crossed the former 9-hole golf courses. Mute Swans were seen as I passed the ponds at Trottick. With the eastern end bridge still closed I had to take the long way round to get into the reserve. Doing so got me Starling and Long-tailed Tit.

Not unexpectedly, I failed to find any Snipe or Jack Snipe but I did add a Buzzard overhead and a Fox down in the reeds where I had hoped to get the Jack Snipe. Stock Dove, Mistle Thrush, Blue Tit, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Moorhen, Tufted Duck, Goosander, Black-headed Gull and Little Grebe were all spotted at the ponds and a skein of Pink-footed Geese overflew. Siskin, Pheasant and Greenfinch were noted before I headed back up through Caird Park again. I found Grey Squirrel, Grey Heron and Coal Tit in the park. House Sparrows at Castle Terrace took my total for the morning to 35 species before I headed home to wait for the postie.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Lainy messaged me on the morning of Wednesday the 25th of February to let me know that one of the local Great Crested Grebes was back at Clatto Reservoir. With the male Brambling still coming to the feeders as well, there was enough of interest to justify a visit to Clatto on my day off. The Great Crested Grebe was unlikely to disappear before I got there and with a bit of luck I might actually manage to get decent photos of a Brambling this 'winter' after all. I had been a bit late in getting out of bed so by the time I got organised it was already 1025.

Magpie, Jackdaw, Herring Gull, Blackbird and Starling got things underway. Black-headed Gull, Woodpigeon and House Sparrow were all found around Dens Park stadium. Carrion Crow, Robin and Feral Pigeon followed a few minutes later as I headed along Wedderburn Street. Wren was heard from the grounds of Kings Cross Hospital. Ten minutes further on, I was able to get Blue Tit on the list as I passed the Crematorium. Goldfinch was next onto the list on Rosemount Road, then a Great Tit soon after. Reed Bunting, Mallard and Moorhen were all seen at the eastern end of Ardler Pond. A very vocal Water Rail at the other end remained within the reeds, which meant I had to make do with a Dunnock instead.

Continuing on up to Clatto, a Lesser Black-backed Gull overflew as I headed along the driveway. Greenfinch and Song Thrush were also seen. I decided not to bother with the feeders initially, instead focussing on getting the Great Crested Grebe on the list instead. Coot, Cormorant, Wigeon, Goosander and Goldeneye were all noted on my first scan of the reservoir. The lone Great Crested Grebe was quite easily picked out as I started scanning back from west to east, and although it was rather distant I was able to get a few 'record shots' of my newest species for Dundee in 2026. I then headed back round to the feeders where I quickly added a few more species - Siskin, Chaffinch, Coal Tit, Yellowhammer and Treecreeper. Oystercatchers were heard from the direction of the reservoir.

I was joined by Lainy when she had finished tidying up the 'frog pond'. I had a couple of fleeting glimpses of the Brambling but was rather frustratingly unable to get any photos once again. A Grey Squirrel popped in to the feeders before I decided to call it a day. Lainy dropped me off near Tesco where she was going for some shopping and rather than heading homewards directly along Clepington Road, I decided to route via the Miley and the Law. Unfortunately for me, my only addition was a skein of silent Pink-footed Geese taking my total for the day to 41 species of birds and 1 of mammals, with my new addition (in bold) taking my total for the year to 104 species.
