Gorgeous again, warm (almost hot at some stages!), sunny
and calm but nets first thing produced nothing but we did ring a Redshank chick
on the flash just across the road and 10 Collared Doves were around the garden. We then had a bash through the marsh at
Westness where we managed to ring three more Redshank chicks as well as some
Lapwing, Oystercatcher and Black-headed Gulls.
The
northern census route in the afternoon was quiet but lovely in the summer-like
conditions as birds of note included a Little
Stint on Bewan, 52 Knot, 27 Bar-tailed Godwits, 60 Sanderling, 3 Sand
Martins and a Chiffchaff.
