Solway Firth from Southerness
At least 50 Divers 0730 & presumed all RTD, given the nearest ones were. 1 distant Skua spcs chasing terns but impossible to ID apart from likely Arctic or Pom, though Arctic are renowned for chasing the terns. At HT, the Point had 9 Whimbrel & several Gannet drifted by close in, sat on the becalmed rising ocean. A visit to the 13th golf course tee roost rocks to scan through the Dunlin revealed just 2 summery Sanderling & 7 Whimbrel, probably from the Point turned up before all were driven off by dogs off lead. No respect there then for the wild world diversity David Attenborough would have such non-believers embrace & change their planetary perspective, and therefore such ignorant behaviour. PJ
