It was a beautiful warm evening for John Aitchison’s bird walk, with evening fabulous light (and not so fabulous midges at some of the stops). John helped us to listen more carefully and pick out various bird song and calls.
Highlights were a fleeting glimpse of a sparrow hawk after we’d heard smaller birds’ alarm call, a redpoll gloriously displaying its raspberry pinkie plumage from an electricity wire, and a drumming snipe over the wetlands.
The evening was capped off with a fly-past of a golden eagle (yes, golden and not white-tailed on this occasion!) at the end of the walk. Thanks everyone one who joined the walk, and thanks to John for leading us.
We’ve also made these signs about TI walks and events being free of charge but that donations are welcome to help support ongoing work, recurring costs, etc.
