4th-6th January

Things haven't really got going yet in 2014 bird wise with a few maintenance and paperwork issues taking priority the last few days. Highlights from 4th were a Little Auk which touched down briefly on Bewan Loch and the Black-tailed Godwit flock at Bridesness increased again to a new winter high of 26 birds. The Common Buzzard was seen again on 5th while after a very quite December for ringing a decent number of  Twite have been caught and ringed at the Observatory's baited clap net site and 2 Jack Snipe have been processed from recent dazzling sessions.
