Best bird was what to all intents and purposes were two BLACK THROATED DIVER. offshore and on the water/. Only problem is the distance from shore. Both birds were darker than there compatriots with one at least showing the white end flash. The bill and head were enough to clinch the sighting as big was different and not held up and truly dark. Of course trying to take a picture at this distance is never easy but I think you can see from the one I have put up that the bird is there.
The bird which shows a lower black and small big is the lower one of the pair.
At the sewer farm a flock of 20 PIED WAGTAIL and two REED BUNTING both male. Also single CHIFFCHAFF, a very yellow spring run bird. CHAFFINCH, WREN, RIBIN, BLACKBIRD, DUNNOCK, GREAT TIT, BLUE TIT, and LONG TAILED TIT.
Only one SKYLARK on levels.
I did come across a BLACKBIRD rung and also several GREENFINCH as well as this MUNCJACK DEER.
To finish of the day a short trip to the Ness brought in a large flock of GANNET which had settled on the water just short of the Newcome Buoy. As an estimate about 00 plus birds.
