That's a lot of geese. In the end I counted 5,825 Greylags and about 80 Pink-feet. Loch of Tankerness was a bit of a challenge though.
During the day I came across a very nice drake Surf Scoter with 23 Velvets and 9 Commons; 37 Great Northerns, 7 Red-throated Divers, 10 Slavonian Grebes, a duck Goosander and a Snow Bunting or two. I heard a Coal Tit and maybe heard a Blue Tit too but they proved elusive in the conifers.
There were a few hundred Fieldfare around but the bright clear weather has encouraged many to push off south

This is such an interesting blog. Thank you for so much information.I recall seeing fields full of Canada and Barnacle geese when I was on Islay.
