It was still bitterly cold in North Berwick this morning. A walk around the town centre produced the unusual sight of 24 Curlews and five Redshank feeding on grass in Glebe Park with Starlings, Woodpigeons, gulls and corvids. Half way home, a Pied Wagtail was at Harthill services.
Arriving back in Glasgow early afternoon, it became apparent that the snow which fell on Friday/Saturday hadn't lasted. Howver the birds are presumably still having a difficult time of it, judging by the activity around the garden feeders.
News from the web is of Sand Martins, Wheatears, Ospreys and Chiffchaffs arriving up and down the country. I wonder what they make of the arctic conditions?
