Hi everyone,
Inspired by Jane Turner's monumental garden list and excellent thread I thought I'd start one on our garden overlooking the inner Eden estuary in Fife.
We too have a wonderful garden for birds with a list of 126 since 29/11/02.
Highlights so far in no particular order include:
smew, water pipit (Scottish rarity!), med. gull, 6 goose spp. including brent, barnacle and white-fronted (both forms), long-tailed duck, osprey, little stint, jack snipe, spotted redshank, little tern, kingfisher, waxwing ...
Recent star addition - 4 avocets which hung around for 10 days.
Most gutting dip - Fife's first American golden plover which was seen while we were away last September.
That's the introduction, a roundup of the weekend highlights to follow later.
