Whatever happened to free time?
The last few weeks have been CHAOTIC, travelling the length of the UK for job interviews, finishing papers etc - no time for birding! I leave to catch my plane (the first of 3) to New Caledonia in 7 hours' time and I haven't started packing! I have a 10 hour layover in Japan, so fingers crossed they'll let me leave the airport for a spot of urban birding - not sure how I'll do given I don't own a Japanese field guide! I'm clearly getting tired, as I'm ending all my sentences with exclamation marks! Below are a few pictures from a warm and sunny visit to Aberdeen, plus the amazing fall colours on campus. Expect a deluge of photos and blog entries in early December!

Barely identifiable Razorbill - some lucky bugger found a Brunnich's Guillemot not far from here a couple of weeks later...
