1st December

A cracking winters day with plenty of sunshine and a light breeze. The drake Green-winged Teal was back on Gretchen Loch again and a Siberian Chiffchaff which showed well and called plenty of times at Holland gardens was presumably one of the roosting birds from last week. A couple of Hen Harriers included the first male for a while and 21 Redwings and 31 Snow Buntings were also seen.
