George E. Jackson sent me this through yesterday...
"Winter first: Yesterday evening, Matthew asked for comments/identification on a photo of 2 birds he'd seen last Saturday feeding out in the open, on the snow covered grass round the Bowmore hospital. Turned out to be a very good picture of two Woodcock.
Spring next: Today (Thursday) as well as increasing numbers of things getting into song - Blackbirds, Song thrush, Great tits, Robins - there was a Cormorant on rocks just north of Bruichladdich with a full white thigh patch, trying to impress, a possible Mate? Then, non avian, at the top of the Machir Bay beach, a wee clump of Coltsfoot with bright yellow flowers almost full out.
All very cheerful and full of the joys of Spring!!!"
