A Mistle Thrush has become a rare sight around my area so it was good to see so many. Scotland seems to hogging all the Magpies at present.
Thank you Linda.

As I never went my usual morning jaunt up the Haugh yesterday I was SEVERELY punished. A guy new to birding who I've met several times up there and even went out my way to show him his 1st ever Jay ....Lochwinnoch is his local but he likes visiting the Hagh and what did he see yesterday
Not 1 not 2 but 7 GLOSSY IBIS
I have his permission to share even though I hate him
Canny believe I missed them ......I shall now continue with my sulk

If it's any consolation Linda, there have been quite a few about

With any luck they'll stay, or return, for you

It will soon be easier to list the birds that don't show up at the Haugh

Hopefully they will be back soon Linda
