The Ken Dee Marshes RSPB reserve is only 15 minutes away from the Lauriston Kite Feeding Station. There were 170+ Greylags from the viewing platform near the farm but no Greenland White-fronted Geese, so presumably they hadn't arrived. They should be in anytime now. We wandered along to the hide seeing at least 3 Red Squirrels, 3+ Bullfinches and best of all, a pair of Willow Tits (this a good site for this increasingly rare species). It was pretty quiet otherwsie apart from a distant Red Kite spotted as we were scanning for Hen Harrier. We'd had a pretty long day but it was rounded off nicely with great views of a Barn Owl near Southerness on the way home.
