Chiffchaff and other sightings

Our surprise winter visitor - the Chiffchaff - continued to delight us up until the 7th (see post 5 December 2014) and I managed some video footage - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8fzOtxcR2A

On the 6th, I joined other members of the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs at an event in Hogganfield Park LNR with 10 Whooper Swans proving to be the highlight on a dismal wet Saturday!
