Our first proper arrival today with atleast 2200 loafing on the Savoch Low Ground this afternoon - not bad considering that this time last year we had just a handlful of birds in.
Our first collars were read today - PXL and PXJ both on the low ground this afternoon along with at least two others that were just too distant too read. These collars are completely harmless to the birds but allow individuals to be recognised and followed throughout the year without needing to get too close. Will up date on recent collars and where some of the collars that we have already read have been seen before
