440 Seedless grapes should be the standard unit of weight measurement from now on.

I'll see what I can do :D

The one that nearly got away ...Beautiful filming Liam and glad I found it ..Thumbs up 726

What a wonderful video Liam. How wonderful to see several species that you haven’t seen before. The scenery was lovely too. The water was moving fast where the Eider ducks were. Thank you so much. ❤

Welcome to Scotland! I’d highly recommend North Berwick and any boat trips you can get on there. There’s of course Bass Rock full of Gannets, and the Isle of May full of puffins - but also a ton of other seabirds. I was lucky enough to see a shag nesting with two chicks on the cliffs last year. I’d also recommend Musselburgh - there you can reach the mouth of the esk which is visited by eiders, goosanders, all sorts - id heard bird watchers talk about king eiders there before but I’d never seen them myself. Both are pretty close to Edinburgh and easily accessible through the bus system.

Niceville! We'll be back! Because, wherever you go? You bring us along!

Ah, great video! It's always good to travel somewhere and see new things. I just got back from Bempton and Filey and managed to tick 4 lifers; Purple sandpiper, Red-throated diver, Common Scoter and Grasshopper warbler. Was overjoyed! Always love seeing a new video, hope fatherhood is treating you well mate!

Another great video Liam. Great to see new birds not good. With that sewage pipe. Polluting the wildlife's food in the sea. Around it

Thanks Paul. I believe that pipe is from a water treatment place rather than sewage, thats what a local told me anyway.

So many beautiful lucky finds in this video ! My daughter did a science degree at Edinburgh a couple of years ago, and it always seems to be windy there, plus the exam scheduling is positively insane, as your sibling will soon discover !

I like your videos and I was glad to see you found the Eider. He is my favourite duck and it's called Ærfugl here. Living on the fjord edge we see up to four pairs a day together, and now in Springtime being fruity. One pair is quite friendly and likes bread as the other ducks do. When the sun is behind the house one can see them swimming underwater. Once I saw a flock of several hundred in a group fishing. They were synchronised swimmers. The front row wound go under followed by the next and the next until they were all under. Then they came back up again in sequence. The male Eider is quite beautifugl!

Soaking crust to avoid curly hair!🤣👍 440 seedless grapes to weigh an Eider duck! Your getting a bit fussy about your snacks to, spoilt on nature reserve cake no doubt!🤣 Great video Liam. Thank you 🙏☺️

Nice one Liam, love watching the turnstones. Glad you got to see the Eiders and Shag. I can highly recommend Musselburgh scrapes on your next trip up here. Thanks for posting 👍

Amazing video Liam and some great clips

Keep an eye on the water when on the banks of the Firth of Forth - you'll often see a grey seal sticking its head above the surface, or even find them hauled out in quiet places.

Cheers Kevin! I always forget how spoiled we are in Norfolk with a massive population of Grey Seals, there is even a resident one in a local river which is more than 20 miles from the sea (as the water flows). I didnt spot any during my Scotland trip, but I will be back soon enough and will pay closer attention.

Brilliant

Eiders and Shags are quite common on the coasts up here, I'm glad you got to see them. Hope those gulls didn't keep you awake on caravan roof.

It was nice, I only managed to squeeze in a little bit of wildlife watching around exploring the local pubs and defeating an escape room for the very first time... But I will be back soon for sure. Cheers!

Glad to see you in Scotland, Liam. Ceud mile failte.

Always good to get a lifer or two. My first Eider was from a beach of your home county. Titchwell 1994! My first Shag (calm down boys!) was Aberdeenshire 2001. 🙂

I remember seeing eider for the first time, a sure sign that you are further north. I hope you had the chance to try a haggis and chip supper. Excellent video as always Liam. 👍🏻

Thank you. I did have the chance but wasnt feeling too great so didnt want to risk it on this trip. Next time I am up there, which should be later this year, I will give it a try.

Great trip to Scotland Liam, glad you enjoyed it. The Carrion Crow didn’t want curly hair - love it! Also loved the weight comparison of the Eider duck!

Great video Liam, Thanks. Next time you visit you could try Musselburgh Lagoons just a few miles up the road from where you were. A fantastic place to see waders and a couple of months ago a large flock of Waxwings.

Nice one buddy! I bet you didn’t want to come home eh lol 😂 Eider Ducks are one of my favourite birds! I love Scotland back off up there soon myself 😊… top vid bud! No cake! 🎂 😮 😂

Nice to get lifers. Though those are two I almost take for granted.

Hi dear lovely Liam ❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank uuuuuu ❤❤❤❤ best wishes for u and your dear family 👪 ❤ 😊

A fantastic film Liam. Scotland has a plethora of bird life, if you ever get chance visit the area around Kincardine bridge. You may even see dolphins.

Thanks Pete. I will keep that place in mind for the next time I visit, which should be later this year.

I coincidentally took a trip to Edinburgh a few days ago and also saw Eider Ducks for the first time. Beautiful birds. I spotted what I thought were Cormorants in the same area. I wonder now if some or all may have been Shags. Watching the Gannet’s bombing the water was also amazing to see.

Great video again, I worked in Scotland for many years on the East coast ,and it can get B@@@@ cold up there in winter.

Lovely to see the Eider duck and Shag. I've seen the Turnstones in Poole harbour, beautiful birds along with the Redshanks there. Thanks Liam, hope you had a nice time in lovely Scotland.

Brilliant Liam. I've never actually seen an Eider first hand, but I've seen plenty of Shags on the coast and even on the Water of Leith in Edinburgh. Usually when you see them there are Cormorants around as well, making them easier to distinguish by comparison.

Nice work Liam, hunting for more species 👍 You left no stone unturned! 😄

Well, Scotland is often referred to as its own country, which is part of the United kingdom and I did cross a border on the way there. But I am also guilty of referring to the UK as a country whilst also calling England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales countries as well.

While you were in foreign parts you should of gone looking for red squirrels
