Great Crested Grebes Displaying

Went up to Hogganfield at lunchtime. There were at least 5 Great Crested Grebe present with 2 displaying close to the car park.



Displaying Great Crested Grebes

Other notable signs of Spring included an increased number of Lesser Black Backed Gulls, Heron activity on the island and the trilling of at least 1 Little Grebe.

On the debit side the numbers of Whooper Swan had dropped to around 10 as presumably some of the flock that numbered 20 in January are starting to move North again.
