It
was an interesting day in that, despite the flat calm and sunny weather, most
avian action was centred sea-ward. In the early hours, the first Black-throated
Diver of the year flew past the South Tip, along with four Wigeons, three
Shelducks and five Common Scoters. Continued seawatching efforts throughout the
day yielded with some nice oddities, including a Pomarine Skua, an Arctic Skua,
five Mediterranean Gulls and some 129 Black-headed Gulls. In terms of migrants
on terra firma, a Wryneck
was seen around Cristin, 229 Meadow Pipits passed overhead, and two Spotted
Flycatchers were in the withies.
