With the wind back in the east and a bit of rain in the morning there was a nice selection of birds present as the highlights included a single Dotterel on Torness, a Wryneck at Ancum, a female Red-backed Shrike at Brigg and an Icterine Warbler found late on at Lurand. Other migrants logged through the day included a Sparrowhawk, three Woodpigeons, 5 Tree Pipits, 2 Redstarts, a Fieldfare, 2 Pied Flycatcher, two Sedge Warblers, 4 Lesser Whitethroats, two Whitethroats, the first Garden Warbler of the year trapped at Holland, three Blackcaps, three Chiffchaffs, 9 Willow Warblers, a Common Redpoll and an influx of 6 Carrion Crows while yesterday's Cuckoo and Turtle Dove were still around Holland. Also of note was an unseasonal Whooper Swan which joined a pair of Mute Swans on Brides Loch and at least 42 Knot feeding with large numbers of other waders around the shore which included 800 Turnstone.
