21st Aug

Some light offshore passage with the first proper movement of Teal west as 26 passed the seawatching hide, also west over the sea was a Gadwall, seven Grey Herons plus small numbers of terns and gulls, which contained one Little Gull. Overhead passage was fairly quiet with just one each of Redshank and Greenshank about the only birds of note. The bushes were mostly very quiet for migrant birds, but four Pied Flycatchers were notable as was a Redstart

Feeding offshore there was four Porpoise and a Grey Seal

The Zitting Cisticola was seen again in the early morning in its usual place at Galloways.
