Another fine, sunny day with an increasing SE wind and it
was all about the quality rather than quantity round the west coast census
route with the highlight being a Nightingale
I found in the punds at the northern end of Torness; it was a tricky bird in
the field and I called it a probable Thrush Nightingale but we put up a net and
easily caught it and it was pretty straightforward in the hand!
Other
birds included a female Bluethroat
along walls on the opposite side of Torness, a very late Woodcock in the same place, a female Pied Flycatcher which I caught
in T5 and a Whimbrel.

Big gangs of adolescent Starlings are roaming the countryside now!
