A misty, murky morning
cleared up by lunchtime; a drive round the lochs in the morning produced totals
of 12 Gadwall, 12 Pintail, 4 Shoveler, 8 Goldeneye, 32 Tufted Duck, the Smew and the Whooper Swan with the highlight being the
first Slavonian Grebe on the sea off Brides. A walk round the Obs census route then
produced 3 Dunnocks, 5 Mistle Thrushes, 5 Song Thrushes, a Rook, a Pied Wagtail,
2 Robins, 2 Woodpigeons and 40 Skylarks with the Black-throated Diver and 9 Long-tailed Ducks in
Nouster, a single Knot on Gretchen and a Ruff in the wet field by Holland.
