Still a brisk SW wind which led to the main feature of
the day which was an excellent Meadow Pipit and alba Wagtail passage through the island with small flocks piling
through all day, I got to The Links at the exact time that a band of rain was
just south of the island causing big numbers to congregate there, waiting for
the rain to clear with 300+ Meadow Pipits and 100+ alba Wagtails (mainly Whites) present for a short time.
Other
birds around the Hooking census route included an influx of ducks on the loch
including 65 Teal, 5 Gadwall, 8 Wigeon and 4 Shoveler, 4 Black-tailed Godwits,
a Ruff and a Whinchat near The Mill.
Bonxies hovering over a Mallard they had just killed
