Not much coming in on the birding front in the last two days, though the weather has continued pleasantly, dry, sunny and cold.
I wandered out to Lochs Ballygrant and Lossit yesterday morning. The trail around Ballygrant was flooded and impassable and apart from 2 Little Grebes and 6 Tufted Ducks there wasn't a lot happening. At Loch Lossit there was a pair of Goldeneye and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
The only news today is from Val Peacock who saw 4 Brent Geese down at Port Charlotte.
Further reports came in for a late evening update:
George Jackson was up at Loch Skerrols at lunchtime and saw a probable male Goosander. Visitor Andy Sallabank was at Gruinart enjoying the geese and waders and finding a nice selcteion of raptors - Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Hen Harrier and a White-tailed Eagle harassing the geese. A little later up at Ardnave he found a Golden Eagle and 18 Whooper Swans on the loch.
