    A unicorn stepped out in front of the X5M at Muirhead on Monday night. Congratulations to the driver for slowing down in time for the beast to fly away.

    I found a cool female Black Redstart on the seafront just 2 miles from my house at midday which is cool,first one i have seen for a good while.

    Oh Mygirlmaria not sure of you ever go near here,but Largo Bay in Fife,off Leven is very good for Common Scoter and many many more species of seaduck,grebes,Divers etc etc
    I am going to nip down there with my Boxer Dog Jasmine while i am up in the Highlands,cannot wait!
