Bird Watch - February 25th, 2016

25/2/2016

Well the sudden sunshine certainly brought the birds out this month and Bob Carss (who, in the absence of Ju was accompanying Jan) and Jan had a most enjoyable morning with lots to see although there weren’t the great excitements of last month!

The two Slavonian Grebes were still in the bay below Gartcharron and there was an unusual Oystercatcher with a white head in with all the others, on the shore of Loch Beag. This bird may have been there for a while, as Ju and Jan have seen it (or a similar one) before.

Totals for the count were as follows: 46 Canada Geese, 11 Grey Herons, 42 Oystercatchers, 10 Curlews, 12 Red Breasted Mergansers, 36 Eider Duck, 3 Goldeneye, 2 Little Grebes, 1 Black Throated Diver, 38 Wigeon, 4 Redshank, 10 Shelduck, 8 Mallard, 3 Shag and 2 Slavonian Grebes. Strangely no Teal or Greylag Geese were seen although both have been around recently.
