    I saw a neat flock of 9 Greenfinch on my housing Estate this afternoon. You forget how colourful and handsome these birds are.

    Going to a Cool Valley on Thursday with a Good Mate, we should get a neat wee list. Goshawk Being one of the main targets.

    I will of course let you all know how we get on.

    A few from Colgagh on Saturday morning, it was pretty quiet around the Lough with just a few Tufted Ducks and a pair of Little Grebe on show.

    Aye Sioux, can't wait for the days to get a bit brighter,:50: this winter seems to be just one long overcast dreich season, going out to the countryside on a fine spring morning is so good for physical and mental health.

    Well went to that cool Valley this morning with a Good mate and got sensational prolonged views of a pair of Goshawk, sensational Birds, the female is as big as Buzzard and the male pretty sizable. Yes we were both very pleased and also got a cool pair of Dipper on the Burn and on the way home a cool Red Kite was well spotted and also more and more signs of Spring is on the way!!:36:

    Driving over the Dalmarnock Bridge this morning, I got held up in traffic. Glad I was as I saw a male and female Goosander. Unfortunately, the traffic jam didn't last too long so I couldn't see them for longer. Stunning birds.
