#LastBirdOfMyDay - hearing the #geese (Pink-foot, Greylag and Canada) in the dark that are roosting on the outer Park that had been arriving earlier, skein after skein, from the West.

Last bird of my day: little Ray the Robin singing extraordinarily loudly from a tree in the back garden in the 5.30pm dusk. Truly uplifting moments.

Barn Owls for #FirstBirdOfMyDay and #LastBirdOfMyDay

#FirstBirdOfMyDay = #LastBirdOfMyDay again. This time Owls having a bit of a set-to over something, probably just territory.

Been a good year for Owls here, Owl Boxes confirmed that for Barn Owls but notably plenty of Tawny Owls.

Why? #DeadHedges? Mix of #Trees in & around grazing pasture?

#FirstBirdOfMyDay was the same as the #LastBirdOfMyDay … honking Canada Geese going a heck of a lot quicker with the wind at their tails than this morning when they were going into it.
We are having a bit of hoolie in terms of winds and very heavy showers but notably warmer.

Costa del Carse of #Stirling giving a “Red Sky at Night”? False signal as rain is forecast?

Lots of #Geese on the move after flocks of Fieldfares & Redwings earlier.
Then, Hitchcock-esque numbers of crows before this picture (from their post-ploughing worm hunting?).

#Geese lifting off from one of their favourite spots here, the sheep- & cattle-grazing pasture on either side of the #RiverForth, though about a 1/3 were on the Barley stubble.
Mostly Pinkfoot, but there were Greylag, Canada and some Barnacle earlier. #LastBirdOfMyDay.

9.45pm, and a blackbird is singing from a rooftop as the almost full, yellow-orange Buck Moon rises #LastBirdOfMyDay

#SongThrushes still going strong after 10pm…
They’ll be up and at it at ~4.45am.
What stamina.

5.10am is not early enough for the true #DawnChorus these days, but the #FirstBirdOfMyDay Choir were in pretty good voice. Song Thrushes were the lead sopranos…
… and yet again they were my #LastBirdOfMyDay last night.

They sure do have some energy.

#LastBirdOfMyDay (before the Owls come on duty) : the variation & volume of the Song Thruses & Blackbirds.
Started at ~5am and winding down at 9.30pm; a long day for them and they’ve been at it non stop.

Lovely to see the bats above the sheep, taking over from the House & Sand Martins & Swallows.

Last bird of the day: the beautiful hunting flight of a barn owl. Not at all bothered by me it seemed as it quartered a field just yards away from me. #LastBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

#LastBirdOfMyDay was a raven appearing out of the misty gloom just before 4:00pm. What a dull and miserable day, but thank heavens for amazing birds to brighten the mood
