Monday 11th November

Very little bird news came in today. Perhaps the calm sunny weather was too much of a distraction.

Derek Coleman counted the birds he could see on a calm Loch Indaal from Blackrock and found 10 Great Northern Divers, 4 Red-throated Divers, 9 Slavonian Grebes, 70 Common Eiders, 60 Common Scoters and a Long-tailed Duck.

Elliott Bowman reported two White-tailed Eagles at Cragabus together with several Woodcock.

My own contribution is that the four Pink-footed Geese that Ed Burrell reported from Ballivicar on 6th November were still there this morning. 

It seems appropriate to post a photo of a Woodcock taken by the late Gordon Langsbury.
