My winter population on the garden feeders now includes long tailed tits and a nuthatch or two in addition to the usual suspects lurking about. A bright cock pheasant is gleaning the grass 8 ft away from me as I type.

Other birds of note were Great northern Divers, Slavonian Grebes, Black Guillimots, a Dipper but the best sighting of the day had to be the large flock of Barnacle Geese. As well as the birds 48 in total in the day we also saw Red Deer and an Otter rolling and playing in the sea weed.mullbirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664342042259515441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777732838545604413.post-10028988624597461962009-01-18T09:57:00.000+00:002009-01-18T09:57:00.000+00:00Alan: A reasonably similar garden list to our own ...Alan: A reasonably similar garden list to our own here in Wishaw, although we have not (as yet) been lucky enough to have Brambling, Blackcap, Yellowhammer or Treecreeper.
