I went round the Ness in fairly boisterous winds this afternoon. A very high tide produced good numbers of waders, including 126 Oystercatchers, 96 Turnstone and four Knot. Three Wheatears were along the north shore. The juvenile Black Guillemot was still around, quite close to the shore below the Coo. Out to sea there were a lot of common seabirds and also single Arctic Terns and Manx Shearwaters.
There are still Swifts around. Two went south this morning then I had two coming in off the sea in the afternoon. In the evening six passed over Victoria Road.
