Duck games

So called spring continues to drag by on Boghall. Willow warbler and swallow were misplaced harbingers a couple of weeks ago, while mallard have undergone a population explosion on the patch, and are on every bit of water they can find. But highlight has been the very welcome return of whitethroats - welcome back boys, I've missed ya. All this bring us to a paltry 64, or 68.1% to those who can do maths (that's you Statto).

nuffin but a puffin

A quick skove around de patch yesterday pm produced a singleton puffin belting wesht past the Galley. Onward and upward!

tuftie

Not much to report over the weekend but a male tufted duck on de lake was new for de year - whoop!

Oh come on

Boring! Nothing happening on the patch, or anywhere in Lothian. Indeed it got so dull that I had to go to Italy to break the tedium. Nothing much there either mind you, but the cheese and wine were good.
