π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ Thursday 23rd November 2023 π¦️ππ¨ 13C ~ Wind NNW @ 30MPH ~ Today I was delighted to guide 25 members of the RSPB Aberdeen & District Local Group around my local patch at Fetternear Woodlands and Dalmadilly Ponds, Kemnay.
 |
A beautiful Beech lined avenue at Fetternear ~ Great for Brambling feeding on the Beechmast! |
A full report of the outing can be found
HERE on the group's website. Highlights included several
Brambling, no less than 4
Hawfinch, one a stunning male and a
Greenland White-fronted Goose at Dalmadilly Ponds. A returning bird which I believe has visited for the past 3 winters.
A few images of the day...
