The little 'Pitlochry House Martin' got released at the weekend 🎉 Luckily he was not alone, I had another late one come in and they got released together. They flew off really strong, and seemed to stick together as they went up high above the house.

It's interesting to know that there are still some House Martins around in Scotland. Just yesterday a group fledged from their nest in Alyth !! Their family all swooping around. The person called me as they were concerned about one that they found on the ground, but it took off and joined the family.

It all seems very late this year.... any later and the only way these House Martins are getting to Africa is with a British Airways flight out of Heathrow! 😄✈️

Many thanks to Wendy Crighton for going on a little rescue mission to Killiecrankie yesterday to collect a House Martin...... yes you heard that right ... another HOUSE MARTIN !!!! 🤯

He was the sole survivor of a collapsed nest in Pitlochry and was cared for overnight by Lauren who then took him to her work awaiting collection. You can see the story here:

Wendy collected the House Martin and I met her at Perth, and now he's settled in and very happy!

Great group effort everyone 👏

The winner of the cutest face competition 2025 is definitely this little House Martin. 🥰 This week has seen the last of the House Martins get released 🎉 I've had 57 in total this year!

It always feels like the end of the summer when the last ones leave.

They travel south to sub-saharan Africa to spend the winter. Then they return home to their little nests on the eaves of our houses in March/April.

Adorable little birds who's numbers are in decline, so every nest is precious!

These 3 adorable little Goldfinches were released this week after being here since the beginning of August. The first was rescued near Leuchars when the nest was blown down. Then the very next day two more nestlings of the same age came in from outside Dunfermline.

Ofcourse they all ended up together and gradually grew into beautiful little fledglings. They won't get their full adult colours until after their first moult.

Goldfinches are hyperactive 'chatty' little babies and there's always alot of competition at feeding time! Standing on each other, pushing and shoving, rolling around. Then they sit together like little angels as if nothing just happened!

Such a big moment.... the last two Swifts have been released 🎉🎉 I've been looking after them for over a month. One was very emaciated when he came in and I didn't think he'd make it.

They always liked to snuggle together so it was nice that they could be released together. Both were at the correct weight and wing length for release and we found a good spot, on a slope to give them the space to gain lift.

We even got a fly-past from one... a last goodbye!

Now they will be on the wing for 2 years before hopefully having babies of their own. Swifts can fly continuously for 3 - 4 years without landing. They sleep, eat, even mate on the wing. Flying above storms and travelling great distances.

That's why it's truly rewarding to give these young ones that chance to live a remarkable life.

Also Collared Doves, Swallows, Sparrows and ofcourse Wood Pigeons have all flown the nest and are off. Take care little ones! It's been an honour looking after you all 🙏🥰

Some releases today 🎉 Three Blackbirds took their first flight into freedom today. Two were rescued by Wioletta in Kirkcaldy and the other was the 'head tilt' baby that came via the Tay Vets and brought over by Rachel.

They all looked very chunky and ready to go. It must be all the mealworms they've been feasting on!

More releases soon!

Here are more Storm Floris orphans! We have 3 House Martins from West Lothian, a Dunnock from Dunshalt, a Collared Dove from Ladybank and a whole load of Wood Pigeons blown all over Fife, Perth and Kinross! 🌀

All doing well, but spaces limited!

Many thanks to all the people for making the effort to travel..... and to all the Baby Beak Supporters who have been donating recently 🥰🙏🐦

The first little victim of Storm Floris was brought over early this morning from Dollar. It's a baby Wood Pigeon who's nest had been blown from the tree yesterday in the high winds.... unfortunately the other nestling didn't survive the fall.

Picking up a few more today!

Try telling these House Martins that they can't get released right now because there's a storm coming!!! 😠 Look at the faces... its like the Mafia.

But seriously no releases are getting done with Storm Floris on its way. 🌀 Everyone is keeping cosy and safe indoors until it passes.

Ofcourse there will probably be an influx of birds blown from their nests. Let's hope its not carnage out there.
