18th October

A new arrival of thrushes consisted mostly fieldfare with 766, as well as 229 redwing and 3 song thrush. A first winter CITRINE WAGTAIL found at Garso was the undoubted highlight, and a total of 8 hen harriers going to roost at Hooking Loch is well worth a mention. Other notable sightings were 3 meally redpoll and a tree pipit.
