Green winged Teal

 I havnt seen a Green winged Teal since 2010 at Bell Harbour.

Yet again Bell Harbour turns up another 14 years later, I dipped on  the bird last week and turned up again early morning at high tide yesterday to no birds in the estuary......i went wandering but returned as the tide was dropping to find hundreds of ducks had come in, and there over to the left was this busy fella.

Tree Sparrows at the Horse fields

 Its always worth checking the grain spillage around the Horse fields near Seafield ,  plenty of Chaffinch, Linnet, Skylark and Reed Bunting can be seen but the gems are the Tree Sparrows that mix with the flock.
