Sorry folks, skipped yesterday due to a failed internet connection. Not to worry, all is back today and I have these stunning images to share with you from Morag Stirling who stumbled across these WTEs on the Big Strand today.
Breathtaking photos, I'm sure you'll all agree.
Yesterday Lauren had 3 little egrets in front of the South Hide, plus 2 male bullfinches on the Woodland Trail. Later while she was digging nettles to create early corncrake cover, she was entertained by 2 WTE harassing the barnacle geese. Gary, meanwhile, spotted 2 WTE at one of the regular haunts: the old wreck at the top of Loch Indaal. Also a kestrel around the wood below Coullabus.
Today was a little quieter with the strong winds but Lauren still located a treecreeper in the woods despite the weather. While at Claddach I saw a hen harrier in the wind along the coastal edges.
Morven over at Nature Scot sent through this months International Goose Count figures:
"The count was done on the 11th and 12th of January with figures of 35,196 barnacles, 6801 white-fronts and 1424 greylags."
Thanks to everyone contributing today.
