Good conditions with a light but increasing easterly wind
and bits of murk and drizzle coming and going; managed to open the nets at
Holland for a short time but I didn’t catch very much however there were new birds
around the gardens including the first Chiffchaff
and Brambling of the year, 12
Redwings, 2 Goldcrests and a Robin.
Mooched
around the Obs through the morning and birds seen included the first White Wagtail of the year near
Gretchen, 3 more Goldcrests and a couple of Redwings. I then walked the west coast census route in
the afternoon where it was disappointingly quiet with just a few Blackbirds and
a Robin along the walls but the day’s highlight came as I walked back through
Holland and flushed a Hawfinch out
of the garden from where it flew off towards the Kirk and disappeared.
