January 29th - A Jay at the extreme northern end of the trail was unexpected to say the least. January 14th - A bit of a purple patch for the harbour at the moment with the Black-necked Grebe flock up to 20 and 4 or 5 Slavonian Grebes most days as well. 3 Common Scoters have joined the 2 Velvet Scoters and the Eider is often around as well although not today. Add to this up to 3 Great Northern Divers and a fairly regular Black-throated Diver and you can see how good the birding has been in the first half of January. January 18th - Snowing hard today and a dramatic movement of Golden Plovers with 300 flying south through the harbour in the morning. Not much else though apart from 100 Skylarks and a few Redwings. see my new video blog ... |
