Rare Bonanza

The Highlands often has some good birds in January but this year is no exception, including the surprise find of a mega in the form of a rather nice Amercian Coot at Loch Flemington. As well as a selection of white-winged gulls, current rarities gracing the region are Lesser Scaup (2), King Eider (moray), American Wigeon, Ring-billed Gull, Glossy Ibis and late last year even a brief Ivory Gull! Being one of the largest regions in the UK guess there must still be plenty of others which just get missed. There are large stretches of coast, particularly to the north of Inverness which get very little coverage, even by local birders. In February and March we'll be exploring some of this wild coast north of the Black Isle, even a full day can only touch up on the many sites to visit. These include Loch Fleet, Dornoch  Firth, Brora, Embo to name but a few. Keep an eye on our calendar for details, and if you are staying at the Grant Arms Hotel, our posters are up on the BWWC notice board.
