Little Stint with Dunlin on flash north of car park at RSPB Crook of Baldoon. Ivan Lang.

2 Willow Tit nr the river at Wood of Cree. 6 GND from Black Head, Killantringan. Ruff & Spotted Redshank 9th still at RSPB Crook of Baldoon. Cetti's Warbler at RSPB Mersehead & Castle Wood, Caerlaverock NNR plus Water Rail at latter.

A bird at Port Logan at 6pm today. With small flock of Sanderling x5, Dunlin x1 & Ringed Plover x2. Flushed by incoming boat, but may have re-landed at northern end of bay. Lawrence Gray. 

7th. I'm dubious about this report at Powfoot. YLG has a grey mantle btwn Herring & LBB AFAIK. So not light grey. Also dubious because there's a confirmatory reliance upon Merlin for ID. "Light grey, yellow legs, large gull. Sound confirmed by Merlin. At least two, possibly four." Needs checking out IMO but given the report is for the 7th, possibly moved on. 

Spotted Redshank and two Ruff on flash north of car park. Ivan Lang.

There were 2 Ruff at RSPB Crook of Baldoon. Greenland Wheatears at Leadhills & Mennock Pass. 6 GND from Corsewall Point. A Whimbrel along the Nith from Kingholm Quay.
