I spent most of last week away at a new survey site in southern Scotland. As its an upland site, predictably things were fairly quiet, but the local Crossbills were busy singing and nest building. The occasional flock of Pink-footed Geese, a Short-eared Owl, Peregrine and a Merlin made up most of the other interest and there were excellent numbers of Red Grouse on the moor.
