Lots of birds to see today - in fabulous weather.
- The Divers were there in good numbers with plenty of Red-throated Divers and Black-throated Divers. There was at least one Great Northern Diver.
- We were lucky to see a couple of Iceland Gulls with a 1st winter bird at Burghead and a 2nd winter bird at Lossiemouth east beach.
- By far the handsomest bird was the drake Eider - this species was present in large numbers.
- Incredibly there was a single Hooded Crow early on - a rarity on this coast.
- Grey Partridge, Corn Bunting, Shag, Red-breasted Merganser, Long-tailed Duck, Goldeneye, etc helped make up an impressive day list of well over 60 species.
A terrific second day with stunning scenery and loads of birds.
