Ivan has just rung me to say he has a possible Stilt Sandpiper on the main lagoon to the north of the car park at the far end near the sluice. He suggested it might be a Curlew Sandpiper but appears to have yellow/pale legs, though only viewed with binoculars from tractor. Gavin Chambers.
A red headed Goosander was present this lunch time on the flash north of the car park. Also Great White Egret showing very well on the southern saltmarsh at 13:00. Lots of Fieldfare on the hawthorns with a small flock of Twite around the site. Ivan Lang.

Walk in beautiful weather around the golf course at Brighouse Bay. Relatively quiet but a few mixed tit flocks in the woods, Red-throated Diver on the sea and around 40 Golden Plover in arial dispay around Borness. Highlight though was a Short-eared Owl on the hills as we headed back to Glencairn caught in the last rays of the sun before dusk. Chris Sutton.
