It was at Strathbeg for a while at Starnafin.
Still knocking around the area but getting a little more mobile.
First reported at Rattray in Nov (?) then around the Ugie Estuary at Peterhead till a couple of weeks ago. The Ugie is still probably the best bet but it's probably feeling 'randy' which is why it was at Starnafin where the Black-heads are now setting up territories on the island in front of the visitor centre---there is a good chance it will return.
