A quiet day working around home and my own garden, with 15 Linnets, a single Greenfinch, and a single female Siskin on and below the feeders. The Siskin was a first for my garden! Also 2 pairs of Wheatear looking like they may be nesting nearby.
Early afternoon I nipped over to The Mainland (Canna, as opposed to Sanday!) to try a bit of mist netting in the wood where John Lorne Campbell's buried. Only a single Willow Warbler caught, but the first of the year for me. Also in the same wood I found three nests, 2 Song Thrush, and 1 Robin.
This evening, after a visit to check on my creel, we sat in our garden with a glass of wine, listening to a Cuckoo calling from across on Canna - the first of the season for me.
