A bird reported flying east over Kippford this morning.

Mid-pm, spotted the WTE poking it's head above what must either be a lower ground level or water channel. Immediately opposite the bench at Browhouses. Later seen nearer to the M6 motorway , on the ground, taking flight & circling. Clearly hunting as attacking geese on the ground. It found a sick or injured bird, landed on it & began to pluck & eat it.
