Shorelark

In the dry interlude c11am, found the bird just after the last cottage west of Southerness lighthouse on the beach. Had a good but gale-blown view of it. It was on its own. Returned to car for camera but soon the wind strengthened more & brought driving rain. No chance of a pic. It mosied along the beach west & then east but the weather defeated us both. The bird had linked up with a couple of skittish pipits & I lost it. Certainly needed the "waterproofs"! I wouldn't recommend trying to find it until after this spell of wet!! Glossy Ibis...?? Not with my luck. Ventured down the beach in the next dry interlude but no bird found. Diver spcs in Mersehead Bay but bins not that powerful!
