Not much going on bird-wise latterly, with
Canada Goose thus far failing to put in an appearance at, well anywhere on my local patches.
Babies of various things are out and about -
Starling, Mallard,
Moorhen,
Coot,
Chiffchaff,
Greenfinch spring to mind immediately, although some are still waiting, and for some this warm spell has meant the end of the line sadly.
A curious group of
Mallard showed up in a stubble field on Hill of Beath - 20 in all, and a random
Gannet in Inverkeithing harbour, which I first took to be distressed, but then it disappeared, so I guess it flew off.
Tufty and
Mallard drakes are also starting to go into eclipse plumage, and a pair of
Tufty dropped in at Merlin Drive for a couple of days.
