29th April

A bit of activity among some of the Wader species today, most notably a flock of 21 Black-tailed Godwits in fields near Ancum. 345 Turnstones were also counted and among them were 3 Knot and 7 Dunlins. The first Arctic Skua on the beach at Nouster in the evening was long overdue, while passerine interest was limited to a new Dunnock trapped and ringed at Holland House and 28 Redwings-a few of which have started singing!

A record shot of some of todays Black-tailed Godwits.
