Greenish Warbler

The promising weather, after a slow start produced a fine Greenish Warbler late morning in the trees along the roadside, just down from the Forvie Centre turn off. Picked up on its distinctive call it showed down to close range, though in very wet conditions at times. There were at least 2 other Greenish Warblers today in the region, with "Cotehill Birder" finding one of them at Longhaven quarry.
Otherwise there was a small variety of other migrants, with good numbers of Willow Warblers. In addtion there were two Pied Flycatches, both in the Kirkton area, with a Garden Warbler along the fenceline at the Mains of Slains turn off and good numbers of Meadow Pipits.
Otherwise there were three Lesser Redpoll frequenting the Kirkton area as well.
