Buckie and Spey Bay
A short walk around Buckie this morning produced nesting Swift plus singing Yellowhammer and Sedge Warbler.
This evening, a trip to Spey Bay produced a Pine Marten across the approach road (and a Fox on the way back), at least seven Dolphins moving offshore, at least three Ospreys fishing in the channels and five Whimbrels giving their "seven whistles" as they circled overhead. Also present were a mixed group of 15 Common and Arctic Terns resting on a shingle bank (plus lots more overhead), a family group of a ringed plover species (I just couldn't nail down the ID), a couple of flocks of Dunlin, big concentrations of Mute Swans, Mallards and Goosanders plus numerous hirundines, finches, warblers and other waders.
The Ospreys were still fishing when we left at 10:10pm.
