A walk at Longart Forest provided welcome exercise - but not much was seen. A buzzard, a flyover crossbill, a handful of siskins, several coal tits, and a single great tit completed the list, while a wren and a goldcrest were heard singing.
Having read my last post, political pedant Greger pointed out that in the general election, I voted for Ian Blackford - who is, it's true, SNP - but of course he sits in Westminster; while it was the Scottish government in Edinburgh that turned down the proposals for a golf course at Coul Links. :o)
A greenfinch was wheezing in the garden this morning. The hills are white with snow, but as the evening closes in, down here at sea level it's raining.
