Sunday 30th November

Another great day, dry yes although there was a slight edge to the air. You like me will just have to wait until tomorrow to find how much the rainfall tallied out at. I think that we are still drier at present so far this year, compared to last year, then again it could be all changed round by the end of December... Today over at Gruinart, James had a Sparrowhawk on the reserve. Bob out on Bolsay Moor had a Water Rail, a Red Grouse and 2 Woodcock. He also saw 6 Bullfinches there as well. Round at Ballinaby this morning we spotted a group of 6 Whitefronts, 5 of which had neck collars on, but were too far to read. I came home the same way later on with the scope ready to read the collars, but the geese were not there, another day Ed... Sorry!!!
