Yesterday two greenfinches in trees next to Oakfield Brae. Must be the breeding season.
Trip to Castle Loch for attempt on willow tit again. None seen, none heard, though a nature watcher with huge camera and camouflage jacket told me he saw six on the banks of the Annan the other day.
Did however see nuthatch, treecreeper, long-tailed tit, red squirrel, wren, tufted duck and reed bunting (first one this year). Wren caused me to think how long it is since I saw a goldcrest.
Inspired myself to take a run up to Poldivan area but all quiet. No goshawk noise. Sum total of sightings: dead shrew, two crows on the trees that used to be favoured by great grey shrike and one unidentified raptor flyover.
On the way back a couple more probable redwings (didn't stop to confirm) and one meadow pipit by Amisfield Moor.
