Thursday 6th October

The goose invasion continued today as George reported that over 2,000 Barnies were at Gruinart while he was over there. On the guided walk this morning, Michal reported through to say that the Pectoral Sandpiper was still present out in front of the hide, and also 7 Ruff. Many thanks to Michal for keeping the blog going over the past week when I have been away. Not a lot of birding was done but we did see a Nuthatch, 3 Jays in our son's garden this morning, squirrels and a fox there too, numerous Magpies, Parakeets, only one Kestrel, Coots and Canada Geese on the River Thames as well, different birds to us apart from the Kestrel, but still great to see. Woodpigeons were 10 a penny, I know we have some on Islay but not that common. Then there was the traffic, so it back home to this cooler weather again, must remember to find a jersey to wear tomorrow to keep warm!
