We've had plenty of great wildlife sightings this week at RSPB Scotland Loch Leven and continue to get some excellent photos sent in, many thanks for sharing. The pink-footed geese are roosting in the bay and just off St.Serfs island so have made for great dawn and dusk spectacles. Due to popular demand we've decided to put on an additional date for the morning goose watch event next Wednesday 16 November at 7.15am. There are just a few spaces left so get in touch if you fancy coming along.
On the sightings board we've had a kingfisher, over 100 pochards, 10 shovelers, 20 tufted ducks, 40 curlews, 6 pintails, goldeneyes and whooper swans.
A water rail has been spending time in the Carden flood. On the feeders at the visitor centre we've had tree sparrows, green finches, gold finches and chaffinches along with a great spotted woodpecker. On the hillside peregrines and buzzards have been seen most days and the red squirrels continue to keep us in good spirits.
