25th February

A Grey Plover had joined the Green-winged Teal on Gretchen Loch and the Canada Goose was still roaming amongst Greylags, but the surprise arrival was a male Stonechat at Purtabreck. Both male and female Hen Harriers were seen at Viggay and a Merlin was chasing a flock of 26 Twite at the Bird Observatory.
