The fine weather continued but the light breeze had swung
round to the east; the 5 Red-necked
Phalaropes were still bobbing around on Gretchen before we went up to
Torness to search for some more Tystie chicks.
Walked
the Hooking census route in the afternoon with the highlight being 2 juvenile Garganey flying around Hooking with
some Teal and a juvenile Shoveler (very sneaky!) while other birds included a Grey Wagtail and the Black-throated Diver in Nouster, a
Swift south over the Obs, 36 Sanderling on The Links and the 3 fledgling Great
Black-backed Gulls flying round the loch.
Had a little unsuccessful attempt at mist-netting the Phalaropes on
Gretchen in the evening where there were also a group of 5 juvenile Shoveler
and the Shelduck brood now flying around.
