Saturday 1st March

Spot the bullfinch!
After much wet weather, went up to a drier Edinburgh for a couple of days.  A.m. walk to Saughton Park, which is obviously well-maintained.  A bird singing extensively at the top of a small tree confused me for some while.  Took me some time to work out it was a dunnock.  I've never seen them do this before.  Also bullfinch and long-tailed tit and a crow that had some very pale markings - but not enough to be a hooded crow, in which case it would anyway have been well outside its normal area in North West Scotland.  Also several magpies.  On revisiting a day later, I counted eight magpies in the same tree at one point.
