Mid-week update...

A smidgeon of cold-weather movement this week, with a few Skylarks and the odd Fieldfare on the move. Also a pair of Redpolls unusually feeding among weed stems at Waterside car park, Forvie.

A couple of Short-eared Owls were hunting around the Forvie Centre this afternoon, with an attendant female Kestrel. We've often seen the local Kestrels mugging the Shorties for voles, with much excitable calling - is this interaction between the two species unusual?

Now's probably the time to admit that all photos in my posts are provided by my other half - thanks Rosie! Hopefully she'll get lots of nice pics of all the rare migrants we're going to find this spring...
