Further grey, damp overcast conditions today, but with the threat of worse weather to come soon with Ed B. suggesting that the forecast strong, cold northerly winds may bring in the last of the winter geese - talking of which: Ed also reported the Bird of the Day - a Cackling Goose (photo below) with 2,960 Barnies, 314 White-fronts and 182 Greylags over on his patch at Cornabus. (Ed. also noted the Moorhen was still present on Loch Cornabus).
Elsewhere Gary T. found 3 Cormorants on Loch Finlaggan, while Clive Mc. had two groups of Whooper Swans around Killinallan/Corsapol totalling 24 birds. David D. had 8 more Whoopers at Kinnabus, 4 of which were young birds. Over at Saligo, visitor Bob Brown found a White-tailed Eagle and Merlin.
