Bright and sunny first
thing with a strong SE wind but it clouded over in the afternoon with some
drops of rain; I walked up the west coast in the morning where the highlight
was a Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the small front garden at Burray which was
associated with a little influx of 8 Painted Ladies, 13 Red Admirals and quite
a few Silver Y’s.
Other birds included the first Common Sandpiper of
the autumn by the airstrip, 11 Purple Sandpipers, 70 Turnstone and a big influx
of 2,500+ Arctic Terns on Torness.
