Bit quiet on here lately, don't you reckon? That's partly because I've been away and partly because there hasn't been very much.
I had a fairly good look around today. The Nigg Bay marsh held a pair of Teal, three Moorhen, and eight Snipe. A nice feature recently has been a fairly large flock of Goldcrests that tend to be found in the small conifers around the waterworks where they give very pleasing eye level views. Today I saw around 15 but there have been at least 20.
Otherwise not that much else was around. 183 Purple Sandpipers were roosting and there were a few more common seabirds around than there have been.
Although I've not been seeing much, I did see a species I didn't get at all last year on 21st January - a Fieldfare over the waterworks.
