Ness Point and Leathe's Ham

Incoming breeze at Ness means that birds are that little closer so it was good to pick up on the following:

Ness Point:   Best was undoubtedly the flock of 10 RED BREASTED MERGANSER flying south in a line a reasonably close in. Also WIGEON seemed to be on the move with 3 flocks 3-7-23 also a small flock of 4 TEAL. Plenty of movement out at distance with 7 RED THROATED DIVER and a single bird closer in which was not a Red but indistinguishable as to its real id. Assumed a Black throated Diver. GANNET flying mostly south 14 birds in all with one on return flight north. I also had 2 Auks flying south, these birds where not Little Auks.

Leathe's Ham:  Best bird was fly over a flock of 9 GREATER WHITE FRONTED GEESE. which included at least 3 birds as young. I also had to KINGFISHER at the same time and 24 PINTAIL 4 GADWALL. 3 DABCHICK
