Another really rough day
after an incredibly windy and wet night with force 8 WNW winds and vicious
squalls coming through every few minutes (more wet than dry); I started out
carrying out the middle census route and after about an hour I had seen 8
Whooper Swans, 5 Pink-footed Geese, 2 Barnacle Geese, a Hen Harrier and a few
Brambling, Chaffinch and Redwings before I was called away over to Brides. It took about two hours but I eventually got
reasonable views albeit in horrible conditions of a really smart and
distinctive looking presumed EASTERN YELLOW WAGTAIL feeding
around the edge of the loch – the afternoon was then just unbirdable so we didn’t
bother!
