Mild weather has meant a lack of winter visitors so far.
Down the meadows I have seen a solitary Teal and today a male Shovelar which was rather nice. Snipe seem in short supply as well - with only one or two seen at a time.
Last week a Goshawk was chasing a woodpigeon - presumably the same bird that the visiting Treshnish group saw prior to the excitement of a Great White Egret.
The flock of Linnets and Goldfinches that numbered 200 on the down a couple of weeks ago has now dwindled down to 40.
