Birdsong Breakfast

Saturday, May 16th 2015

Twenty six visitors joined us at 5am this morning for our annual Birdsong Breakfast. The groups were split in three and enjoyed an hour walking around the reserve, listening to and learning about birdsong and the birds found at Foxglove. Highlights included stunning views of Redstart sitting high in a Scots Pine, and views of the Green Woodpecker near to the wetland.

Following this the group returned to their cars and we headed across the training area, where we were treated to good views of Black Grouse. A Whinchat was also seen at one location; here some were lucky enough to hear Grasshopper Warbler singing. Breakfast at Wathgill followed; as usual this was top notch.

Well done to everyone for getting up so early, and to everyone who helped by leading the walks.
