Spent three hours walking the banks of the Forth north of Stirling on what was a very murky afternoon. Highlights consisted of: a Raven near the Wallace Monument, a female Sparrowhawk carrying prey, 19 Oystercatchers feeding together on a grassy bank, lots of Goosanders plus a smattering of Goldeneye on the river and a Grey Seal seemingly impossibly far inland at Old Mills Farm. The full list for the day was: Mute Swan, unidentified goose, Teal, Mallard, Goldeneye, Goosander, Cormorant, Little Grebe, Sparrowhawk, Oystercatcher, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Raven, Goldcrest, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Wren, Starling, Blackbird, Fieldfare, Song Thrush, Robin, Dunnock, House Sparrow, Grey Wagtail, Goldfinch, Siskin, Yellowhammer and Reed Bunting (38 species).
