Icy
The Dunnock have either vacated the garden or are playing elusive. No sign of the Stonechats either.
Whilst Ellen was at a birthday party we headed for The Ring of Brogdar. The one open pool on Loch of Stenness was impressively packed with birds including more than 70 Goldeneye (mostly drakes) and a good number of Scaup. Unfortunately I'd not packed the scope so resorted to photographing the pool, probably more useful will be to revisit tomorrow.
It's a bad time for Rooks. Icey, solid ground is leaving them very hungry. This first winter looks in bad shape.
