A Bonxie and lingering Arctic Skuas again this evening. Also 11 Wigeon circling the harbour.
Are you around Andrew? You were copied in on a very interesting email from Andy Webb regarding the creation of a permanent wetland in Nigg Bay. Andy and I are going to get together later and throw a few ideas around, but we thought you might like to have some input too. The general idea at the moment is that creating a habitat suitable for breeding birds down there might not be such a good idea, so current thought is that some permanent water, some mud and some migrant cover would be in order.
At the moment this is just a proposed proposal (if you know what I mean) which might take a little enthusiasm and perhaps a little effort on the parts of those interested in seeing such a feature!
I assume you're interested! I'll let you know what Andy and I come up with....were going to discuss this at lunchtime so if you have any thoughts you want included in the discussion let me ken before then.
ttfn,
Mark
I'd start by making it a no-dog zone...
Its make your mind up time, for me tomorrow. Down to the Ness or all the way back to Starnafin for the 'legs.
