A reasonable sunny day on Thursday gave way to a dreary, mostly cloudy, breezy and rainy day on Friday.
Yesterday there were reports from David D. of the Cackling Goose still down on The Oa at Kinnabus, while Billy Stitchell's male Blackcap remained at his feeders at Caol Ila.
Morven Laurie from NatureScot sent in the International Goose Count figures, carried out on 18th December. The count the day before took place in very poor weather and has been discarded. Totals as follows:
27,585 Barnacle Geese, 4,852 White-fronted Geese, 1,434 Greylag Geese.
With the awful weather today, nobody was out birding - though I did see a lone Greenfinch with the 50+ House Sparrows and numerous Goldfinches on my feeders here at Bruichladdich.
