Weekend 15th - 16th September

Golf at Stonehaven better than last week but more importantly a steady stream of hirundines going South - mainly sand martin. Probably 200+ birds over 2 hours, about a 100 of which were sand martin. a single red admiral the only butterfly seen.

On Sunday, lucky to see 2 hen harrier at an area between Banchory and Aboyne but photo opps only presented themselves at Cowie, Stonehaven later in the day.

At high tide, a smattering of waders and a close in dark bellied brent goose (had them fly over but not had one stopping off before).
