A quieter day
Today started at 6:30am on Lossiemouth east beach. The attraction was the regular Little Terns, and the possibility that the recent Mongolian Plover might reappear. In practice, a thick, east coast harr made birdwatching almost impossible, with visibility down to 50m. About a dozen Sanderling did appear through the mist but the only terns on show were Arctic and Common. A good selection of waders was on the nearby estuary and a big group of Carrion Crows included one hoodie hybrid.
Loch Skene had a very active Common Tern colony with several young plus broods of Tufted Duck and Little Grebe.
Loch Oire also had breeding Little Grebes plus a few Coot.
Along the cost, Portsoy had at least ten Swifts (with one entering a nest on the village church).
Nests of House Martins were also found.
Finally, this evening, at least 20 Swifts screamed over Buckie until well after 10pm.
