Thursday 19th January

Some actual birds to report today, which drastically improves the blogging experience for all of us. Gary had not one but two kingfishers, the first at Carnain and the second at Gartmain. The red-breasted goose is still with us, seen by Neil Hammatt a few miles SE of Bridgend, per Jim Dickson. 

Belated news that the marsh harrier was seen at Gruinart on Friday by Lauren from RSPB. Fantastic that it has hung around for so long - the first record was sometime in the first half of August 2022, I think. 

Margaret had a peregrine whilst on Machir bay. This week's scheduled Nature Scot international goose count was cancelled due to the snow and ice, and I gather has been rescheduled for late next week. 

Thanks to all the above.
