Overcast with a chilly, brisk westerly wind and nets
first thing just produced single Garden Warbler and Collared Dove before the
middle census route was predictably quiet with the waders again the highlight
on the beach at Westness as there was a big influx of 322 Knot along with single Curlew Sandpiper, 60 Dunlin, 70
Sanderling and 120 Turnstone. Other
birds included 2 Mealy Redpolls, a Sand Martin, 5 Sedge Warblers, a
Sparrowhawk, 2 Woodpigeons and a slightly strange flock of 25 Curlew by Sangar
which had the feel of a non/failed breeding flock – too early for that sort of
thing surely?
Two colour ringed Shags were at the usual roost site on the west coast
