Less noticed by most people is the influx of <i>Scaeva pyrastri </i>hoverflies. There are actually more of those about in the Divit than the butterflies, but you have to be looking to see them.<br />

Common Fiddleneck is a plant of open sandy areas and has an easterly distribution, though it seems with not too many Fife records. It was near the changing rooms for the football club.<br />
<br />
The Pellitory-of-the-wall is on the wall beside the burn, and is there in quite a few places.<br />

Breezeblocks beside the garages held a small collection of the beetle <i>Silpha atrata </i>and a <i>Lithobius melanops</i>. A Sowerby's slug was under a larger rock beside the coastal path. Total species for the year is creeping along at 77 but without a huge effort invested yet.<br />

Won't I?Am I up for trying another year of patch watching the Divit? On the 5th of January I haven't visited once ... yet<br />
<br />
Can I resist, or will I be sucked into it? Seems a shame not to really, but last year was so disappointing that it's hard to get up for it. Maybe I need some sort of January booster to lift the enthusiasm.<br />
<br />
I have no pics from January. Because I haven't been, obviously ...Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12543586983692447920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120880413682761837.post-63401732631142445012014-12-04T01:28:00.002-08:002014-12-04T01:29:15.918-08:00Winter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A lovely wintery day at the Divit with a couple of RT Divers and a few GC Grebes on the river. 4 Little Grebes in the harbour told the story of the 1 degree temperature. Teal were present in small numbers too but no sign of any Dunlin so far.<br />

It will be dark shortly, and I guess I won't be seeing them. Not today anyway.<br />

There are various reasons for the decline in hours, but this year the easterlies meant the birds just weren't there - not even the seabird bonus you might expect from easterlies. I saw less than 10 skuas so far this year! Who knows how I will feel about it next year. Maybe a good start will invigorate my efforts. Hopefully there's still something to be seen this year before season close.<br />

Largest flock was the last at 8:45 which had 54 birds in it - by itself it would have made the top 5! Also good were Starlings, which came through in groups of 5-7, and Song Thrush, of which I saw 12 fly through.<br />

What on earth could they have as a common interest? I skirted round to see if maybe there was an Owl or something in the trees. To my surprise the focus of their attention was an Otter feeding on the rocks - not a bad result and maybe my best vismig result of the year!<br />

I hoped that they would turn towards me rather than away, and lo and behold 42 <b>Red-throated Divers </b>emerged in a flock, calling and circling before disappearing again. The place was swarming with <b>Swallows</b>, with a few <b>House</b> <b>Martins </b>thrown in. Additional cast included first autumn <b>Mistle Thrush</b>, a smallish portion of <b>Mipits</b>, and a nice species addition to the year list in the form of <b>Tufted Ducks</b>.<br />
