Yes indeedy - moving swiftly on, nothing to see at skwinse anyway but LOTS to see at Galley! A mid-pm scan of the lake produced first an incredulous male pochard, and then as the scan continued, a noteworthy male wigeon and a kingfisher, before finally alighting on a frankly outrageous black-necked grebe! My first on patch since 2009 and my 5th wan evah!
Marvellous!
Proof-of-life evidence as follows:
 |
| A black-necked grebe, earlier |
And some more
 |
| A pochard, earlier |
Either way, it was absolute scenes on the Majik Patio (tm)!
In other news, Reg has been kind of banging them in up at Collieston, although he did rather over-dramatically announce that it had been an "Awful birding autumn for me ( literally worst I can remember!)" before admitting that he'd also only just got his first Great Northern of the year....
All to play for then, for those podium places....
