Three days of Storm Bert, bringing lots of wind from various directions, and with it plenty of heavy rain. A generally unpleasant three days, but not as awful as predicted and not as bad as some other parts of the UK.
The weather has understandably caused the birds and the birdwatchers to hunker down and stay out of the way. There were no notes for Saturday. Ed B. noted the Cackling Goose still on his patch at Cornabus plus a photo of a young Cormorant from Jura c/o Louise Muir unruffling its feathers in a lull in the stormy weather. Today Ed. B. was the only contributor, with a note of 5 Pink-footed Geese at Cornabus along with a Barnacle Goose with a colour ring indicating it had been caught there in February this year. Other than that there were 25+ Goldfinches hanging on for dear life in the wind and rain as they feasted at the feeders in my garden at Bruichladdich.
