Another fine day with plenty of migrants with a
flava wagtail, the first returning
Grey Plover and
2 Tree Pipits the most notable of new arrivals. A
Wryneck and a
Wood Warbler near the observatory and
2 Barred Warblers were presumably hangers on, whilst other counts included
14 Ruff, a flock of
12 Black-tailed Godwits and
7 Common Sandpipers, with a
Wood Sandpiper and
2 Greenshanks still on Gretchen Loch. Increased counts of passerines was most likely due to calmer conditions with increased totals of
5 Whinchats,
8 Lesser Whitethroats,
12 Garden Warblers,
53 Willow Warblers and
2 each of
Grasshopper and
Reed Warblers.
