More Herring gulls moving through.
Fly Flatts 0815-0945 hrs Moderate SW>5, 30% cloud cover, hazy sunshine giving poor light.
Nothing special at Fly this morning to see the year out but once again a good move of Herring gulls >SW with a count of 36, most of these being 1st winter birds.
A Raven flew over the west moor at distance along with a Peregrine and Kestrel whilst a Cormorant headed >NE very high. The only passerines were a Reed Bunting and a male Stonechat but nothing showing interest in the seeded areas as yet. Red Grouse were very vocal on the moor, probably having an end of the shooting season party.
Only a tea time session left now to go out of 2017 with a mega.

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
