9th August

A much quieter day today with persistent rain hampering the afternoon's birding. All interest was amongst waders with 3 ruff and singles of greenshank and black-tailed godwit on Gretchen Loch. At Westness were 34 knot, 9 dunlin and 3 bar-tailed godwit.

A single leach's petrel and 63 storm petrels were trapped overnight.
