Cycling to work on a beautiful morning, 07:10-08:45. Moving birds in short supply at Hill of Beath but some better movement in south Dunfermline overlooking the Forth. Might try to arrive here earlier next time.
Added
Curlew and
Black-headed Gull to my NT1489 list and a
Pied Wag to my NT1389 list at Hill of Beath. At Duloch Park, Dunfermline there was a singing
Meadow Pipit and a flyover
Pied Wag, with list additions of
Tufted Duck and
GBB Gull, before I moved on to the SE of the town - Merlin Drive to be precise. First off as I arrived on site I saw five
Mipits skimming the rooftops - a good sign! By this time I only had 15 minutes before work duty called but during that time I had another couple of
Mipits, 3
Chaffinch and a
Curlew north. The first
Chaffinch I could see coming from about half a kilometre (reviewing the map, maybe a kilometre!) because of the way the light was across the landscape. This could prove quite a productive spot in the weeks ahead. It's not a bad showing for the middle of nowhere as it is. Not so great for autumn maybe (as if I'm not going to be at Inverkeithing in autumn!)
