Dodging the showers today, managed to see 35Hooper Swans,juveniles and adults,20greylags and there was a very large flock of geese at Achavrole possibly in excess of 200 but could n't be decisive on whether they were Brents as they were between us and the sun.
Also Sparrow hawks, stonechats,blackbirds,redshanks (am seeing more of them than I remember from the past)oystercatchers,ringed plovers,eiders,gannets,robin,curlews,fieldfares and the usual hoy palloy of crows and gulls but not necessarily in that order!
