Saturday 8th November

A pleasant, dry, mild and sunny day.

Bird of the Day goes to Frank Cavanmagh who found a female Black Redstart this morning at Crosshouses.

Stuart Ainsworth had a Water Rail near Bridgend this morning. Gary T. was watching the birds coming and going from his feeders at Ballygrant (seeing a good count of 13 Coal Tits there yesterday, 7 Bullfinches nearby today and several ringed birds coming in to feed and wondering where they are from. He also had a Kestrel nearby. Frank reported "thousands" of Golden Plover on the flats at Loch Gruinart and later found a Canada Goose close to Craigens that was probably the "Lesser" Canada Goose that has been observed by Steve Percival recently. This evening, David D. had a Woodcock at Cragabus.
