Northeast River, December 3

Bird News from Robin Newlin

A morning visit to a small stretch of Bukhangang, with mist giving way to mild early winter sunshine. On the river, 12Common Mergansers, 3 Common Goldeneyes, a Grey Heron, 5 Little Grebes and about 20 fly-over Eastern Spot-billed Ducks. Also above, an Eastern Buzzard. On and around the rocks: 2 Brown Dippers and 2 Japanese Wagtails. In the brushy verge, a few Yellow-throated Buntings and a pair of Great Tits.
