    Spotted Flycatcher was singing from a tree Esk side of the grounds near to the small pond . There's a clear felled area with hardwood trees still standing Landranger 66 ref. 587 217. Never thought of it being early, that said I usually catch up with them spring birding down south first . Rik

    Had a walk around River South Esk at Penicuik yesterday then around through the grounds of Penicuik House to Lowries Den. Highlights included Lesser Whitethroat, 4 Chiff Chaff, 3 Nuthatch, 7 Blackcap, 6 Willow Warbler, and a Spotted Flycatcher. No Wood Warbler tho . Maybe still a bit early.
