There were lots of Pied Wagtails in Troon today (including some good candidates for the alba subspecies). At least twenty were on seaweed near the top end of south beach and another dozen or so were on the fairways near the Marine Hotel. At one point, a handful of Meadow Pipits rose from the grass to escort a male Sparrowhawk scything its way along the sand dune retaining wall. A single Gannet and at least two Sandwich Terns hunted over the bay.
