Red Grouse pairing up now. Male
Female
Single Stonechat present
Early morning at Fly Flatts with bright sunny skies but still the cold SW>5 blowing and frost on the ground.
1 hours walk on the west bank and 1 hours sky watch found very little with just the usual Canadas and Mallards on the water whilst a single Stonechat was present but distant.
Amazingly the skies were empty with not a single gull, corvid, goose or swan, the only contenders being a small squadron of Starlings >W, an uncommon fly over bird up here apart from Autumn Vis Mig time.
