Brambling joins the Yellowhammers at Cathkin

The morning of Sunday the 24 th of January was dull with drizzle at times but at least yesterday's fog had gone and visability was much improved. Winds were light but it was still cold.

The feeding area at the Windlaw end still held Yellowhammer with at least 50 still present. Chattering House Sparrows could clearly be heard and there were still at least 5 Tree Sparrows present. The usual small numbers of Reed Bunting and Chaffinch added to the mix. New in however, was a Brambling that I picked out briefly briefly before the flock moved to another feeding site.

17 Stock Dove flew over in a single flock and I had already seen 2 or 3 before so the site is probably hosting over 20 birds at present.

Both Buzzard and Kestrel showed well. There was a Heron in Windlaw Marsh.
