late sightings on 6/2/14 there were a pair of goosander (M+F) a Sparrowhawk and the usual corvids

on 8/2/14 goosander in flight, and to my amazement in this bird battling the strong winds and struggling to fly we came across a lovely Dipper, also got pictures of him resting on the rocks catching his breath other than that, thats it
