Richard reports an unusual visitor to the Bay. He spotted this Spoonbill in the centre of the Bay a couple of days ago and it was still around the next morning. Although these unusual birds are seen regularly in East Anglia and Dorset the last sighting here in Findhorn Bay was over 3 years ago.

Richard reckons maybe this one has come up here to escape the current heatwave down South!

It’s that time of year again. The first Ospreys have arrived bang on schedule. Richard took this photo yesterday evening which shows a newly arrived bird fishing near the piers.

Richard reports a number of recent sightings around the Bay of a White Tailed Eagle. He saw the bird flying this morning and it went to roost in a tree in Culbin as seen from Findhorn village. His photo demonstrates the massive size of the bird when compared with the nearby crow.

Although snow and Ice are forecast, days are lengthening. Around the Bay, snowdrops are flowering, a welcome sign that spring is on its way.

Spectacular show of Northern Lights last night. Richard took these fantastic pics looking Northwest across the mouth of the Bay.

Thaw continues in Findhorn with the wind going from North round to Southwest. This has blown a lot of the ice floating on the Bay across to the Village side. In past times this would have been collected for the Icehouse.

Quite a lot of snow in Findhorn at the moment. Richard took this picture early this morning just as the ‘Wolf’ full moon was setting.

A large crowd braved a cold North Westerly Wind last night and were treated to a spectacular Fireworks display from the piers.

Findhorn Heritage wish all our followers a very Happy New Year.
