A rough day with a strong
SW wind and a very wet morning but some sunshine in the afternoon; there were a
few birds in the Brides census route highlighted by the surprise reappearance
of the Little
Egret in a field near Southness and
(presumably) the same Common Rosefinch in a field by Brides with
Reed Buntings. Other birds included the
4 Yellowhammers in Kirbest, 12 Twite, 2 Hen Harriers (adult female and 1cy
male), 2 Merlin, 2 Kestrel, 9 Reed Buntings and 10 Pink-footed Geese with small
numbers of Redwing, Chaffinch and Brambling.
Offshore were 6 Red-throated Divers, 2 Great-northern Divers, 2 Long-tailed
Ducks and 5 Red-breasted Mergansers.
