Does anyone in Scotland have recent news on this bird? Some of us Sassenachs are drooling for it but its a long step by any standards...

Apparently right in front of the hide.

How long are you up here for?

On the assumption it is there and we nail it early, what's a good place to look for Capers at this stage of the year?

And are there Dotterels near the Glenshee ski-lift or anywhere else fairly handy from a road?

Finally, what sort of views have the scoters and King Eider been giving at Blackdog? I notice Surfbirds hasn't been exactly sinking under the number of gripping photos.

Cheers

Surely its darkish even at St John's pool by now? Went the day well?

Sorry John didn't get a chance to visit after all - had to work late - no news from my local contacts though. I saw Dotterel, summer Snow Bunting and Ptarmigan on the summit of Cairngorm two weeks ago if that helps?

Thank you very much. I think though that without positive news on the main event I will have to wave off on this one.

No doubt it will now be reported Saturday evening....

Cheers
