The BBC had another great day of birding with Judith King at the helm. She started the day at Kincardine lagoons where 70 some species were seen including 15 warblers. The leaves are not out yet so the warblers could be found even though they were high in the tree tops. At the lagoons the weather co-operated nicely and people were layering down to near tee-shirts. The weather changed and by the time we lunched at Inverhuron we had to bundle up from the drizzle and cold. At Inverhuron park we again were treated to many warblers. We added some waterbirds at Baie du Dore and saw the eagle on it's nest. In total we saw 89 species. Thanks very much to Judith for leading this hike.
