Damien came up for a ten day break in March, the weather was reasonable for most of the time, it only rained for the last two day’s of his stay. Jill kept him well fed, as usual, and we went bird watching most days and visited a fair number of sites.
We had some good views of Short-eared Owl’s over his stay and Damien added another four or five new birds to his list, including Snow Bunting, Slavonian Grebe and Red Grouse, although the Grebe was a fair distance away and the Grouse was a very brief encounter. Overall we managed around sixty species.
