Did the WeBS count a day early as the weather tomorrow looks poor.
Very little on Ardivacher beach but a nice small group of 9 Purple Sandpipers.
Crossing the machair there were just 15 Golden Plovers and 19 Lapwings.
Opposite Hebridean Jewelry there were exactly 150 Shelducks. They gather in this area in the early part of the year but I don't recall seeing more than 72 in the past. Also present were 10 Brent Geese.
North Bay had a lot of seaweed but enough sand showing for the waders. It would appear that the Bar-tailed Godwits particularly like this spot as all 600+ were there today. Other waders present: 67 Ringed Plovers, 250 Sanderlings, 25 Oysterdatchers, 9 Redshanks, 1 Curlew and 1 Long-tailed Duck.
