On the Glen Road, a male Stonechat alighted on the wall. This is in area where this species has bred in the past. On the Golf Course, two Wheatears were feeding on the 8th fairway and a Red Kite was hunting along the edge of the moor.

Common Scoters
To follow a trend in Northern England several Common Scoter flocks have been heard passing overhead in the night across the BOG area. This is about the third night this has occurred. They're tending to be heard from between 21:30 - 22:30.
More information from Bird Guides. See more on Wednesday's blog.
