Hanging on in there.

Adult Eurasian Whitefronted Goose with Pink-feet near Creetown (Dumfries & Galloway), 7 March 2012.
Little Ringed Plovers, Sand Martins and Garganeys may be on the menu for this weekend elsewhere, but I'm clinging to winter in SW Scotland at the moment. The Cree merse was swarming with Pink-feet today, many of which I couldn't check due to the lack of parking places on the A75, but in one flock I found 2 adult Eurasian White-fronted Geese as well as AXP neck-collared Pink-foot.
Nice herd of 69 Whooper Swans by the road near Palnure and plenty of Barnacles in the Southerness area still. I believe the Red-breast is still about but wasn't in with the roadside birds this morning at least.
