A short walk around the bushes this morning found a few Wheatears, lots of Meadow Pipits, a few Hirundines going south and not much else.

3 Curlew Sandpipers, a Dunlin, a Ringed Plover, a Little Stint and a Greenshank flew over, from Firth viewpoint which was very uncomfortable today in the North East wind and drizzle, amazingly there was no else there, can't think why.

1w Yellow-legged Gull at the fishing boats this afternoon

Just a couple of Arctic Skuas chasing Sandwich Terns off shore from the fishing boats were the highlights of a short sea watch this afternoon.

I apologise for the Sandwich Tern overload, my excuse is that they were feeding close in to the fishing boats and very little else was passing.
