Wednesday 9th April

After seeing not much last week, decided that 12 - 16 birds would be a good quota today and, perversely had already seen that number before reaching Carelaverock.  More notables included lapwing, woodpecker, greenfinch, curlew, reed bunting but no bird of prey apart from a passing heron.  Made a detour to check out mystery birds of last week, which of course were not present. Again heard but did not see skylarks.
