Wed 30th Dec

Another cold night, with the result that most of Loch Gorm was frozen over, and when we went out at the back of lunchtime it was still quite impressive to see. But the best was still to come as at the edge of the ice was a White tailed Sea Eagle complete with its' yellow wing tags, too far away to read, but at least it was a 2006 bird! There were a few Curlew at the top of Loch Indaal, and when we arrived at our friends' house at Mulindry, there was a Coal Tit on the feeders, a bird that is not that common to us here at home.
