Friday 10 December

 WWT's Kane Bridges has been here with Ed ringing waders at Cornabus. Their total ringed species were 22 woodcock, 4 jack snipe, one common snipe, one reed bunting. While lamping they saw 'plenty of birds', Ed estimating that woodcock are into 3 figures.

David Dinsley found a glaucous gull on the shore below the Gaelic centre, and counted 5 scaup at Black Rock.  While Mark counted 3 WTE in the similar area, near smelly corner/Crosshouses.

On Currie Sands yesterday there was a small flock of 6 rock pipits feeding on the sand.
