A side benefit of working in Westhill means it is possible to have a quick check of Loch of Skene or Carnie woods at lunchtime.
Today's 25 minute diversion is well worthwhile as the Loch of Skene seems to be holding all the regions recently arrived willow warbler and they seem to be singing everywhere.
A scaup and an osprey flying over make it a rewarding lunchtime!
Aye well Ian: you've finally forced me to start looking at blogs and yours has already given me information I haven't had from anywhere else. No Swallows (yet)this far south in Aberdeenshire (St Cyrus) and no sign, including calls, of Blackcap anwhere. Lots of Yellowhammers around right enough and a few thousand Pink-foots on Montrose Basin, which are clearly itching to leave us.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how you find the time to do this blog, but I'll certainly be using it a lot from now on.
