Wednesday 11th November

This morning, early on, there were several groups of Whoopers flying out from the Loch Gorm area, following the road and out to the sea and then heading South, no doubt on to Ireland. There were 14, 10, 32 and then 30 in a short space of time, then around 70 - 80 Fieldfares flew South over the house mid morning. At lunchtime, another 24 Whoopers flew past. Needless to say, the wind has picked up quite a bit, so I have taken most of the bird feeders down, rather than find them on the ground tomorrow morning!
