A walk up Neilston Pad first thing this morning found the whole area knee-deep in snow. A Kestrel, Raven and two Buzzards were on the wing, while a Grey Heron and a Cormorant were on Snypes Dam. Most obvious birds however were Chaffinch and Collared Dove.
This afternoon's walk around Hogganfield Loch produced the usual suspects. Two pairs of Great crested Grebes were displaying far out. The Goosanders were also mostly around the island, apparently having moved away from the car park area. The Whooper Swans there (including at least one family party) remain remarkably tame. Other notable birds included a male Reed Bunting and three Oystercatchers, the latter a new bird for me at this site.
