22nd August

A seemingly quiet day was soon livened up with the discovery of a PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER, amazingly the second of the summer. The previous, a smart summer plumage bird was last seen on the 6th of August, with today's bird a much duller individual with limited black on the underparts. Other birds included 11 black-tailed godwit and 11 ruff on Gretchen Loch, a willow warbler at Holland and the crossbill still around Westness.
