Links Hill and Ness Point

Dull old day but still.

Links Hill:    Only BLACK HEADED GULL at rest but 7 GREENFINCH scattered between the bushes. But on the sea heading South a single SHAG was heading down on the tide to roast in, I expect Hamilton Dock.
Ness Point:   36 TURNSTONE around Birdseye and a PIED WAG.

Great evening last night with WBC, which was presented by Mark Avery who gave a talk on "Driven grouse moors". great insight into the subject which covered areas which are very revealing. He also faced head on some of the main  issues but on questioning it seems that there needs to be some more thought into what we are looking for. I understand that the it the real and true protection of  raptors, but the countryside and how it could be developed is still one that needs to be looked at, or so it seems.........I also won the the raffle and so a big thank you to John Evans for the photo of a Red Grouse which Mark signed for me.........Also a big thank you to Kathy Piotroswki for such a great evening. Well done Kathy.
