Royal Air Force Ornithological Society camp site on The Flannans, many moons ago studying populations of Petrels, Puffins and other seabirds with the odd Quail, Common Rosefinch and Collared Dove in the mix. My tent is lower left on the pic

@George_NRBO @Leica_UK @tomgale89 Had Leica APO coatings were always a problem with objective lens and never resolved. Moved to Swaro bins and telescope after sales best ever.

Tree Sparrow numbers now climbed to 25 today at Newstead... wonder if the count can exceed 34 from last January

@SkyeBirdsBob @BobBosisto @CBWPS1 @Kernowringer @camelbirder @maxshearwater @MarkWhi30245092 @RAFOSBirding @gannetrocks @highlandbirds @rothiemoon 4 showed the characteristics of collybita in autumn plumage and the other had much brighter underparts and darker black bill and legs although to ID this individual as an abietinus in the field is fraught with danger. We agreed that all were collybita.
