Carsethorn & Southerness

A poor WeBS show suggesting a Peregrine through or human disturbance. I think I just missed a large flock of Knot before counting. A single Bar-tailed Godwit & I think 6 Grey Plover the best birds. Where Carsethorn I was hot, it was cold at Southerness. Some typical for the time of year birds at the point, with a Red-throated Diver, several Common Scoter & 3 Guillemot offshore. A large flock of Knot c5-600 alighted the point briefly. Otherwise, usual Turnstone & Redshank but no Dunlin, Ringed Plover nor evidence of a Purple Sandpiper. Should be on the east coast! PJ
