Inverkeithing - first Mipits through!

Hurray! Bizarrely before I was forced back to the car by a snow flurry a couple of Meadow Pipit north over the harbour. Visited Cullaloe first, which delivered a third Pochard but nothing new for the year list.I wonder how many actual Pochard there have been, and how often you assume you're looking at the same bird(s) when you aren't. First Lapwing was displaying at Hill of Beath yesterday, too. Wonder what it's thinking now in the snow?

Snow sprinkling. Lothians to south behind
