Caerlaverock, Wed 8th May
Becoming a wet day. The usual song birds in the avenues supplemented by 2 Common Whitethroats near The Avenue Tower and a Lesser Redpoll on one of the seed feeders. No Barnacles to be seen now, as expected, likewise the 3 Whoopers have vacated The Floodground. The pair of Little Grebes are still active on The Teal Pond. There are still a few Golden Plovers around, and Wheatears can often be found, especially on the merses, where the 2 Little Egrets remain
