Happy new year everyone, hope you had a great night last night, it’s wonderfully and sunny in Edinburgh today and the birds are busy on the feeders:
- Blackbird x 2
- Blue Tit x 1
- Bullfinch x 1
- Chaffinch x 1
- Coal Tit x 4
- Dunnock x 1
- Greenfinch x 4
- Woodpigeon x 1
I know I’ve already added an update today, but just went outside and noticed that the magpies are back making a lot of noise and as I watched them a flock of 50+ waxwings settled on the tree in the neighbours garden, rose once, settled again then flew off.
- Magpies x 12
- Waxwings x 50+
From the Lothians birders news on yahoo groups there’s been a sighting of 200+ at the Ice Rink, Murrayfield between the two bridges on Water of Leith.
Sadly the website was lost and this is the first record I’ve been able to find internet archives.
