Retired, but still enjoying birds & all wildlife. Also, live music floats my boat.

It was a stunning afternoon & quite mild for the time of year. Loved the Starlings wee display & the male Marsh Harrier was still hunting near dusk. A small group of Black-tailed Godfits were feeding near the north pool.

Had a magical few hours at Skinflats yesterdayafternoon, not much seen but the sounds of nature won the contest, with Water Rails & Cetti's Warbler to the fore.

A nice semi sheltered walk with George along part of the Dunfermline cycle path this morning. Lots of winter thrushes with Redwing, Fieldfare & Blackbirds enjoying the berries. A confiding flock of beautifull Bullfinch with a few Robins & Dunnocks calling.

I returned to Skinflats (Forth) hoping to see one of the recent Cetti's Warblers but no joy on a beautiful sunny morning. Lots of Reed Buntings, a few Wrens & Dunnocks & Robins. Best of all was a lovely flock of ten Black-tailed Godwits.

I was happy to connect with Skinflats (Forth) Cetti's warbler this morning at 08.25. A few Redwings & Fieldfares too. A juvenile female Marsh Harrier & fly over Peregrine. 11 Pochard, 2 Shoveler & Gadwall on pool so a decent visit despite the weather.
