Dull

The weather is showing no signs of improving so that's keeping things quiet for now. A female Hen Harrier has been a regular sighting but we had a fly past by a male harrier while we were in the shop! A few Siskins on the feeder, GN Divers on the loch and a couple of Rock Pipit on the wires were some of the highlights. The ever present Hooded Crows are always good entertainment as they forage for food - find a mollusc and take it up in the air...

...once dropped you have to follow it down to see if it has broken open.

A couple of Goldcrest were nice to see as they fed low down in the trees - not easy to get a shot though.

You can rely on the Oystercatchers to pose for a photograph...

...and the Siskins coming to the feeder were worth watching.

A Barn Owl was the last addition to the Patchwork Challenge which took the total species to 49 with 63 points.
