Mennock Pass & Golden Eagle

No luck with Ring Ouzel today. We spoke to the shepherd who said she had not seen one this year but saw one the year before. Lots of Wheatears including juvenile birds. Stonechat, Meadow Pipit, Mistle Thrush, Willow Warbler, Buzzard, Raven, Common Sandpiper, Black-headed Gulls, Curlew, Oystercatcher, Red Grouse, Red-legged Partridge. Grey & Pied Wagtails, Cuckoo & Spotted Flycatcher. Golden Eagle at 11am travelling along the A75 between the roundabout from the hospital & A710, flying quite low westwards over the golf course. Probably one of the released Moffat birds. Chris & Pat Baines
