A single Swift was the pick of the birds seen in Newton Stewart on the way south this morning. A walk around the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet added a single Green Woodpecker (giving close, albeit brief views), a Great Spotted Woodpecker pair with fledged young, singing Yellowhammer and Tree Pipit, a screeching Jay and a soaring Red Kite. Birds of the day were Blackbird and Song Thrush, both of which seem to be having an excellent year with many adults seen gathering food for their young.
