Dundee Birding....(target 150 in 2024).
Paid another visit to the park late morning today, but the visit was curtailed when I received news of accessible Waxwings at the other end of the city. I started at the hide end for a change and worked eastwards. Found the remains of a young Kestrel near the flooded field (saw the live one hovering near the bay earlier), which means I was wrong about there only being one in the park. Don't know what happened to it, but it was fairly well maggot-ridden and not much left of it, except feathers and skeleton.
Birds seen -
