Belated Post - Goa, Nov '07 Part 1

Whilst rummaging around in a drawer at home, I came across 2 CD's full of photos from Goa from 2007, when I spent 2 weeks there in November with the Fray and Mental Dave.

Post Conor

At the height of Storm Conor yesterday there were Gulls everywhere, so it was safe to assume there would be loads today - there wasn't! Around the patch there was 4 Whooper Swans heading south, 10 Red-breasted Mergansers in West Voe, a storm blown Guillemot hanging about some dry-stone walls (later captured and released back to the sea) and 2 Meadow Pipits and a Redwing in the neep crop.

Goldfinch and Whacky Gull

On the patch today - 1 Goldfinch, 10 Redwing, 1 Chiffchaff, 3 Robins, 2 1w Glaucous Gulls and a crazy looking Iceland type that looked like neither an Iceland or a Kumlien's!
