Loch Leven NNR Birds

Hello folks. I've been really active this year but really struggling for birds. This morning I took a break from chainsawing and looked out with a scope. There is a fine flock of Pochard about 560 strong. In amongst these were a fine drake Scaup, Drake Smew (maybe Loch Gelly bird) and Drake Ruddy Duck (Maybe the last. I keep saying that ;-) ). All these birds were off Orwell, east of Burleigh. (NO146037) But rarest of all by Loch Leven standards was a Twite along the hedge at Orwell. Only the 4th time I've seen this species at Loch Leven. (NO150039) There are a few Whoopers around Vane. 34 this afternoon and a further 19 around the gliding club. Some Redpolls and at least one Brambling are on the Vane feeders.Lots to see around the NNR.All the best Jeremy
