Two more days of fairly mild, dreary weather with lots of cloud, occasional drizzle and light winds.
After the surfeit of Turkeys on Christmas Day there were no reports of birds on Boxing Day until the evening when Clive McK discovered a total of 6 Woodcock feeding in open fields after dark near his house at Creag Mhor, Gruinart. He also found a road-kill hare that he put out on the off-chance that a passing White-tailed Eagle might enjoy a Christmas gift. This morning the gift was duly accepted by a White-tailed Eagle and taken off to Gruinart flats to be eaten. Later today I managed a couple of short walks, finding 35 Brent Geese up towards Crosshouses, 60+ Ringed Plover on Machir Bay and a further 13 on the beach at Sanaigmore.
