Weekend 26-27th October 2012

It has been a fairly quiet week in terms of bird activity...Loch Loirston wigeon numbers now in excess of 100 and a single goldeneye turned up the beginning of the week.
A barred warbler was reported by Andy Webb on Saturday at Old Portlethen
Beyond that I've had the opportunity to try and improve photography skills with a bit of practice on garden species.
The great spotted woodpecker from two weeks ago hasn't showed up again but goldfinch, siskin and greenfinch are fairly abundant in the garden. A goldcrest has been putting in the odd appearance but is not keen to come out in the open for too long.
Some garden birds from Saturday :

dunnock

robin

f blackbird

greenfinch
Some mouldy bread chucked out on Sunday saw an opportunistic tea-leaf make a few forays - as long as he stays out of the house we'll get on fine!

Brown Rat
