Milton & Auchenreoch Lochs

Searched the ditches & runnels at the NW side of Milton Loch a.m. & found a Jack Snipe & Water Rail. Also 2 Red-legged Partridge in a field at Milton Village. After reading about the Mandarin Ducks went down to Auchenreoch at 1.45pm. Both ♂️ Mandarin Duck were there & also the Long-tailed Duck. No sign of LS. Late yesterday afternoon I walked down the Kirkgunzeon rd from Milton & in the ditch below Byreside Farm in one's & two's I had 11 Snipe, 2 Grey Wagtails & 2 Stonechat. Anna White.
