1st-3rd February

A return to wet and windy, blustery conditions has seen little change in the birds recorded over the last few days. On 2nd 10 of the Black-tailed Godwits were still to be found at Bridesness and there were 13 Shovelers with the commoner Wildfowl species on Hooking Loch. A few Thrushes remained and the Twite flock at the Observatory had reduced to 70 birds.
