A walk along the beach to St Mary's and back didn't give me the Wheatear I was hoping for but I did get a year tick with a single Lesser Black-backed Gull on the beach (pics below) with Herring and Black-headed Gull, by the mouth of the Brierdene. The Med Gull was still at the Brierdene car park blagging chips.
At St Mary's there was a single Bar-tailed Godwit (pic below) with small numbers of Sanderling, Dunlin, Turnstone and Redshank.

Plantains, Dandelions and other verge plants are now starting to push up a few green shoots.
Nice photographs. The Wheatears should be about soon.

ReplyDeleteI've noticed the return of LBBs with interest - still amazes me how variable the mantle colour can appear depending on light conditions and viewing angle. Love the Godwit.
cheers
