We went
out to Grassholm yesterday for the annual session to cut free chicks (more on
Ramsey blog here) - we had time for a quick scout round for other birds
afterwards and it was an interesting year! The highlight was a tree sparrow!
Closely followed by a firecrest (both found by Steve Votier). In addition there
was single redwing, snipe, merlin,
song thrush, turnstone, skylark, wren and dunnock plus 3 starlings and 5 rock
pipits along with large numbers of lesser black back, great black back and
herring gull.
