I couldn't resist another visit to the White-billed Diver in Dundee today and I'm glad I did as @dundeebirding.bsky.social and I were treated to some lovely close views of this fantastic bird.

Great blog, Graham. Very interesting reading. Sad to read the purps are in such decline. Feel very fortunate to have them nearby.

My only experience of Black Redstart has been passage migrants at the coast in Arbroath and Fife during November/December - I've never had one in Dundee.
