Warm and calm again with a light easterly breeze; was
around the Obs census route through the morning where birds included the Black-throated Diver again in Nouster
with 3 Red-throated Divers, a Spotted Flycatcher by T4 and a Black-tailed
Godwit and 11 Bar-tailed Godwits on Gretchen.
Walked the middle census route in the afternoon but it was pretty quiet
with another 2 Spotted Flycatchers, 95 Sanderling and 40 Dunlin of note along
with the first Pied Wagtail fledglings at Phisligar and a decent sized Redshank
chick seen at Westness.
The
day’s highlight came late on as a cracking Firecrest
was caught at Holland – rare anyway up here but this is the first one ever in
spring!

Ugly, beautiful Hooded Crows
