A little egret & a pal were quartering the horse field at the star of the Loch Humphrey track. A few minutes later I head a nuthatch. Both are fairly recent arrivals in Scotland I believe. Due to climate change. It is a very mild start to December & fields are surprisingly green. Drizzle & mist

Stonechats having a chat at Barassie Beach yesterday evening. Plenty of butterflies about too.

It looked like it was going to rain this afternoon, so we had a quick walk up to Jaw Reservoir. Plenty of small heath butterflies about. Lots of foxgloves and plenty of bird song. A whinchat in a dead larch near the water.
Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.
Barassie Beach yesterday, A Sedge Warbler singing loud and clear, IDed by Merlin, got a photo. Super song.
I am finding Merlin a lot of fun, hearing and sometimes seeing birds I would have missed or dismissed.
The week of very fine weather broke today. Some rain & hail. Went for a short walk along the River Kelvin. Plenty to see despite the rain.
