Wednesday 21st December

Another blustery, fairly wet day. 

James how had been out and kindly sent in the following seen while goose counting:

In the Gruinart area: Merlin, Marsh Harrier, 2 Hen Harrier, 3 White-tailed Eagles, 1 Sparrowhawk, 


At Carrabus: 1 Pink-footed Goose, 2 Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Cackling Goose.


Very interesting that the Marsh Harrier is still with us and surviving the winter so far.
