Even although we are only at the beginning of June it is already evident that we are moving into a much quieter birding period. Take Inversnaid yesterday afternoon for example, the woodlands were very quiet with little birdsong and with trees in full leaf finding birds was hard work. Both Louise & Rachel were with me and their 'sword fencing' antics with bottles of coke did not entirely help bird finding either !
The main target birds were Pied Fly & Redstart. Although I saw and heard several of the former, the latter remained frustratingly absent and not for the first time on Loch Lomondside in recent years I failed to find any. In contrast I did find a Spotted Flycatcher, a single bird located on call, and there were plenty of singing Tree Pipits and a few Wood Warblers.
