Tuesday 10th November

Gary today, had some "good" birds in his garden over past Ballygrant. They included a male and a female Bullfinch, Yellowhammer, Reed Bunting as well as good numbers of Chaffinches, Greenfinches and Coal Tits. Today, we moved one of the feeders in closer to the house, with an immediate response was the Goldfinches, Chaffinches, and House Sparrows arriving soon there... Late afternoon, with the weather improved, a quick run round Loch Gorm, did not produce much, a Stonechat on the whin bushes after Coull, around 30 Fieldfare at Saligo, no geese really seen apart from 20 or so Whitefronts and 6 Barnies at Ballinaby with 13 Whoopers at Sunderland and 8 more along at Rockside.
