We took advantage of a brief dry spell yesterday afternoon to
do Boghall, and were rewarded with a fine peregrine and then a flock of snow
buntings in the snow at the back of Caerketton. Second record of Snobs from the patch, and a fine
find for us inland boys. Pleased with that haul we went home to work on some
new songs, but better was to come when we looked out of the recording studio window
and saw a cracking male goosander haul itself out of the burn that goes through
the garden, waddle across the bridge and sit down on the path. It decided that
the garden was not suitable for nesting pretty quick though, before we could
get any photos. Shame, but a cracking patch and garden tick. 3 new for the year means 75.67%. Bring it!
feck off out of that! Goosander on the garden list? You sure it wasn't a gammy muscovy duck or summat? Any shots?? FFS!
ReplyDeleteGoosander on the garden list, using the garder rather than fleeing ow'er. I have a witness too. Nae photos as it fecked aff before i could get the camera. Mighty record though.
ReplyDeleteTopped by Patch work challanger David Douglas who scored GWTeal and WT Eagle on the Tay on the same day. Jammy.
