Strong easterly wind through the day but bright and
sunny; a Swift flew south over the Obs and there were still 2 Red-necked Phalaropes on Gretchen
before I walked round the Hooking census route where the waders on The Links
were the most notable birds with a Grey Plover, 10 Bar-tailed Godwits and an
increase to 52 Sanderling the highlights.
Other birds included 20+ Sand Martins, 5 Shoveler, 8 Teal, 73 Lapwings
and 40 Redshank.
A
brief whizz round a few sites in the afternoon produced 5 Whimbrel, 684+ Golden
Plover, 160+ Dunlin and 12 Knot around Westness and 2,500+ Arctic Terns, 44
Knot and 60 Dunlin at Bewan.
