The more clement conditions have brought a gradual taste of spring. A number of pairs of Yellowhammer have taken up territories around the village, and their singing can be heard everywhere just now. There was also a Corn Bunting singing at Kirkton at the weekend , which was a reminder of times past.Over the weekend likewise the easterly winds brought in 2 or 3 Chiff-chaff, and there were also a small number of Goldcrests to be seen. On the lochs intermittently over the last few weeks there have been both Goosander and Red-breasted Merganser though none hanging around for long. A pair of Gadwall are back on Meikle Loch as well.
Best bird of the weekend was a female type Black Redstart in the Kirkton area as well, and last seen Monday in the churchyard.
