The weather over the Summer has hardly been spectacular but one nonetheless becomes used to comfortable day time temperatures where nothing more than light clothing is required. I left Glasgow at 7:30 am on Sunday 29th Aug with a slight breeze blowing and reasonable temperatures and despite seeing the forecast for "strong northerly winds in the East" I was completely unprepared for a day more akin to November than August. In short I was "bloody freezing"
I saw very little and certainly not the Semi Palmated Sandpiper that was first reported the previous day. The strong winds and squally rain limited me to a scattering of Dunlin and Ringed Plover and 2-3 Greenshank. I gave up at midday and vowed to pack warm clothes for future visits to the East coast.
