Recent Sightings

We visited Baron's Haugh RSPB Reserve yesterday (15 September 2015) with Judith and Mike and got a good range of birds (at least 41 species) including a Little Ringed Plover, 5 Ruff, a Green Sandpiper and 33 Snipe.

Today I travelled through to Musselburgh (47 species seen) and added to the wader sightings with 2 Curlew Sandpiper and a Greenshank at the scrapes. From the sea-wall I counted 11 Great Crested Grebe, 8 Slavonian Grebe and one Red-necked Grebe. There were also a few Little Grebe on the boating pond - so almost a complete set of grebes!

I still haven't worked out why I can no longer upload photos so onto other recent sightings, courtesy of the SOC Clyde Grapevine unless otherwise stated:

Two Ruff and two Black-tailed Godwits at Bridgend Farm Pool, Kirkintilloch.

Monday 14 September 2015

A Greenshank at Newshot Island, also a Redstart in the hawthorn hedge there.
