BIG YIN STARTS MOVING SOUTHWARD
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2009 6:29 am
No not Billy Connolly, a big yin of the feathered variety, a Sandhill Crane.
The Sandhill found on South Ronaldsay on 22 Sep 09 finally crossed the sea to the Mainland UK yesterday. By 1425 hrs it had moved south to Kildary, near Milton, north of Inverness. Hopefully the bird will move down through the UK, hopefully through Yorkshire (!), rather than heading east across the North Sea. When I was in Canada I was told these birds can migrate up to 600 a day, so this could be in an area near you soon!
I will try and keep you updated!
