A Coal Tit was singing in the Grassmarket, central Edinburgh first thing. I have definitely noticed an increase in song from this species since the turn of the year. Later, Linlithgow Loch had a good selection of birds as usual. Most notable sightings however were not bird-related: a large number of recent molehills and an Apple tree which had shed almost all of its fruit (which was lying, untouched, on the ground below). Also of interest were the Herdwick sheep in a nearby field - I don't see many in Scotland.
