19th April

The second wryneck so far this April was at greenwall, a willow warbler was at Brecken and at Brides Loch were 4 swallows and the first whimbrel. 2 more swallows were at the north end, a total of 4 chiffchaff and 2 blackcap were seen and wheatears continue to increase with 52. The biggest event of the day, aided by rare flat-calm conditions, was of a record breaking 132 great northern divers, with the vast majority off Twingness.
