A walk along the river as far as Hawkhead this morning produced several interesting sightings (although the water was too high, fast and murky for some of "the usuals"). Best birds were two Greylag Geese calling loudly as they flew over the river from the direction of the tower to Ralston Golf Course (a second new bird for the area after last week's Whooper Swans). Also notable were three Grey Herons, two Cormorants and a possible Kingfisher. The woods were full of Redwings, with more Chaffinches than usual as well (although no sign of any Bramblings tagging along).
Walking back in the evening, a Starling was singing in Hawkhead and another Grey Heron was being harrassed by some of the 200+ corvids over the stubble fields.
