Mon 5th Jan

Another great day along with a beautiful sunset, but having been busy on other things today, there has not been a tremendous amount of birding. There were 4 adult Whooper swans down at the lochans below Rockside, while in a field at Sunderland, there was a flock of over 50 Fieldfares along with 10 Blackbirds. Obviously, with the cold snap continuing, the birds have been busy again on the feeders. It was interesting to see the size difference between a Coal Tit and a Greenfinch, something that I had not really appreciated before!
