Thursday 10th December

A bit cooler out here today, so I was glad once we had the big stove on, boy what a heat it can kick out... Just after Coull this morning, we spotted a Peregrine fly over. At Ballinaby, a Buzzard was seen while over at Craigens, the was a mixed flock of some Starlings, Lapwings and Golden Plovers on the ground. Back here at home, the pesky Sparrowhawk was seen, still all the wee birds are so far evading being caught... For those of you that may be interested in Fair Isle, there is a program at 9pm on Channel 5, I am not sure of the content as I think it could be about some of the residents, rather than the actual Bird Observatory.
