What a stunning day, the ground was frozen white and the sky clear and blue. And with the cold weather came one of our annual white tailed sea eagles, which was seen around castle island! On the loch there were plenty of ducks, including teal, mallard ,tufted duck and goldeneye and a mixed flock of whooper and mute swans. The pools of the reserve were frozen so the only birds on the wetland were a handfull of buzzards. Goose numbers have fallen around the loch, with many of them probably moving further south. The number of birds on the feeders has hugely increased, with huge flocks of greeninch feeding today.
