Yesterday..
Somewhere in Perth and Kinross, a cracking close encounter with a male Goshawk. I've noticed previously a change in behaviour from corvids when Gos is in the vicinity. The first thing I noticed yesterday were 2 Carrion Crows rapidly flying up high, then a flock of Jackdaw and Rook got up from a field in a panic and also rapidly gained height before circling in a tight, noisy flock.
I was scanning around distantly, failing to find the source of the panic. Then dropped my bins and spotted a Gos circling much closer before it cruised past at 20m range!

Today..
Barns Ness
I was in the Lothian area this morning so decided to have a look for the Water Pipit and Snow Bunt that had been on the shore just South of the Light House. I sat down and took my time scoping the shoreline. It was hard work with low tide meaning although there was plenty of Rock Pipit activity the birds were often not visible for long periods as they fed amongst the large rocks/boulders.
The Water Pipit wasn't present when I first arrived but flew in from the N side of the Lighthouse with a Rock Pipit. Then got reasonable scope views as it fed along the edge of a rock pool.
A nice bonus were two Snow Bunting in the same area. I was surprised to find them amongst the rocks with the Rock Pipits rather than feeding along the strand line. At least 2 of the Rock Pipit showed features of the Scandinavian form Littoralis.

Scandinavian Rock Pipit. In early spring many Littoralis acquire a summer plumage of variable distinctiveness compared to British Rock Pipits. This bird is a classic example with grey crown, relatively bold supercilium, reduced streaking below showing a pinkey buff wash on throat and breast. Some can look quite like Water Pipit, main differences from Water being heavier streaking on the mantle and underparts, supercil still not as obvious, white in outer tail feathers more limited. The Water Pipit at Barns Ness didn't appear to have started moult to summer plumage but even then it had a much more extensive white supercilium, and much less streaking  above and below. The white outer tail feathers were eye catching when it flew in and landed.
