Fri 19th March

There are not so many Swans down on Loch Gorm, and no word of them turning up at either Gruinart or at Ardnave Loch, so perhaps they have left. Talking of Ardnave Loch, and James had 9 Goldeneye there this morning. Back here at home, and we had a first for the year, a pair of Siskin on the feeders at lunchtime. They were not to be seen later on again, but I will certainly keep an eye out for them tomorrow. I heard that somebody had 14 on their feeders over at Port Ellen, earlier on this week.
