Another dreadful day with
the gale force SE wind bringing numerous and frequent hail and rain showers
with it; looked at Brides and Scottigar at high tide with the Kumlien’s Gull still present along with further influxes of 107+ Black-headed
Gulls and 90+ Great Black-backed Gulls but little else different to yesterday.
Walked the coast along the sheltered side up to the
airstrip in the afternoon where there were a few birds hiding along the wall
including my first Wheatear of the year
(probably the same as the one yesterday), the first 2 Dunnocks
of the year, 3 Song Thrushes, a Mistle Thrush, 4 Robins and a handful of
Blackbirds; the Green-winged Teal was also still present.
