11th September

Holland gardens still held 2 willow warbler and a garden warbler, with another of the latter at Scotsha. A pied flycatcher was at the surgery, singles of willow warbler and crossbill were in East Loch Park and a grey wagtail around Twingness. An adult black tern at Haskie in the afternoon was bird of the day on a local level, the last island record being 2003, and also there were the wryneck and 4 pale-bellied brent geese still. Other sightings through the day included 3 grey heron in Garso Wick, a grey plover, merlin, peregrine and a male hen harrier.
