Headed up for a walk around the back nine of the Red this morning and played 12 holes on the Green this evening.  Great to see the flags back in.  

I found a Drooping Star-of-Bethlehem in the rough short left of the 15th tee on the Red.  It is an introduced species, but quite a striking one.

Lots of Linnets around at the moment.  Look out for these noisy finches in the gorse and in the birch trees.  There were flocks around the 15th and 5th of the Red this morning.

A pair of Red-legged Partridges seem to be centred around the Greenkeepers hut on the Green.  I'm not sure if it was the same pair that I saw around the clubhouse over the winter.

Lots of Stock Doves around the course.  These three are usually around the Greenkeepers' hut on the Blue.  Another pair is often on the left of the 2nd on the Blue.
