Black-winged Stilt this morning on the ARC
When I finished going through a very poor catch in the moth trap this morning, I went to the ARC where the Black-winged Stilt was still strutting around albeit quite distantly. Over the lake 100s of Swifts, Swallows, Sand and House Martins were hawking, along with the nesting Common Terns. I have no idea how well they are doing as it very difficult to see onto the raft, nigh on impossible during this windy spell.
Black-winged Stilt with Little Egret and a single Mediterranean Gull taken on Thursday
A long walk from home this afternoon around Galloways and the hay fields saw little in the wind, but several Yellow Wagtails were nice.
Manx Shearwater the highlight of this evenings sea watch
This evenings sea watch from the fishing boats 17.15-18-15:
Manx Shearwater: 1W
Gannet: 14W
Cormorant: 2 on sea

A somewhat slow and cold watch, the obvious highlight being the single Manx Shearwater.
