A further deterioration in the weather today - grey and raining with stronger winds. So, not surprising that there are no bird notes sent in to the blog. However, Scott Maxwell emailed with the following query and sighting:
"Not sure if this is a Barnacle Goose from Islay. It has a small green ring on right leg only. Seen near RSPB Lochwinnoch in Renfrewshire last Sunday. Sorry for poor quality photos - digi-scoped from distance to avoid disturbing the geese. Any ideas?"
Further Barnacle Goose related news came from John Miles down in Dumfries & Galloway who emailed regarding Avian flu to say "Yes, Ok down here at the moment but from a max of 42,000 there are now 20,000 according to staff at RSPB Mersehead last week!!"
