Profound bleakness for much of the day, before a lovely last 45 minutes of light at sunset, captured brilliantly by Phil Edwards at Saligo...
Phil was busy again today, getting a pair of gadwall at Loch Tallant along with 9 teal. I'm fairly sure the gadwall are a good December record - Malcolm, over to you!! Some of Phil's other sightings include a merlin at Ballinaby, 9 twite at Smaull, otter and GN diver at Claggain and 5 porpoise at Seal Bay. Ian Dearing had a ringtail hen harrier at Ballinaby this morning. And that was all she wrote for today - the forecast is dry for the next couple of days, so Santa can leave the roof down on his sleigh.

Although much commoner in summer, there have been more or less regular records of wintering Gadwall in November, December and January
