The first of the returning Whitefronted Geese were seen by John Armitage, with a group of 9 on Loch Gorm. JSA
Catherine had a Goldcrest in one of the rooms in her house today, does this qualify as a new "house bird"? On Loch Gruinart itself, the group of 17 Brent Geese were still there. Back on land, and during a farmland bird survey, the totals were 309 Rooks, 106 Skylark, 11 Meadow Pipit, 131 Linnet, 14 Twite, 47 Greenfinch, 2 Red leg Partridge and 30 Reed Bunting. Skylark numbers appear to be up recently, while Meadow Pipit and Pied wagtail numbers are down. CF
The weather today has been overcast and not so warm as yesterday, but still allowing the farmers the chance to get the last of their harvest completed.
