Took a spur of the moment trip up to Loch Fleet to try for the long staying Greater Yellowlegs (and also to give Lyndas new Swaro 8x32 their first outing!)
Having forgotten that we were on Taxi duty for my daughter this evening we were half way to Fleet before we realised! Not to worry we arrived in plenty time and managed perfect views of the bird... and what a cracker it was!
Feeding in it's well reported patch in the flooded field next to the Coull Farm entranceit was very settled and confiding. Definately well worth the visit!
All in all 2011 has proved a good year, Birding Ecosse has "taken off" and has been recieving some excellent feedback and re-bookings.
Year list stands at 174 UK 218 World and 5 UK Lifers:
1 Long Billed Dowitcher
2 Sandhill Crane
3 Bittern
4 Red Flanked Blue-Tail
5 Greater Yellowlegs
So Happy New Year to everyone "Lang mae yer lumbs reek" and here is to a bird rich 2012.
