Rarities
The Water Pipit was again in the flooded fields and horse paddocks near Biggar. View only from the road and do not enter the private fields.
Offshore
Early morning observations (0815-0915) produced 152 Razorbill, 85 Kittiwake, 20 Common Scoter, 5 Red-breasted Merganser, 3 Guillemot, 2 Red-throated Diver and a late Gannet.
Wildfowl and Waders
The long-staying Long-tailed Duck is still in residence and an aberrant plumaged Curlew provided some interest.
