Still bright and sunny
with an even stronger SE wind in the morning with cloud building from
mid-afternoon; a little walk round The Lurn before sheep punding just produced
six Swifts which came in off the sea from the west. I then walked around the middle census route
at lunchtime where birds included a juvenile Ruff on Ancum (the first juvenile
of the autumn) along with 2 Herons, 10 Teal and good views of a Water Rail, a
Black-tailed Godwit and 146 Oystercatchers in the cut fields and a good selection
of waders at Westness including 135 Dunlin, 22 Knot, 10 Purple Sandpipers, 60
Turnstone and 5 Sanderling.
