Last week a wet bike ride with few
sightings, but did catch a glimpse of late willow warbler in the
hedgerow near Old Bridge of Urr. Also field full of greylag geese.
With some time to spare went
for a brief ride along the Caledonian Cycle Path (W) the day after and caught a
quick sighting of a linnet just past the footpath to the Garden
Centre. Several others singing but not easy to see.
On the Friday made a trip to Eskrigg in pursuit of
willow tit but again no success although red squirrels plentiful and
all the usual suspects were on the feeders including nuthatch and gs
woodpecker. Lots of coal tits. Monthly recordings mention willow
tit and wood warbler, but not willow warbler (why?).
A few red admirals on the
wing on a mild start to autumn this year. Today they were settling on the
road whilst out cycling. Also song thrush in front garden.
