More Filthy Twitching - Buff Breasted Sandpiper.

Not content with yesterdays twitch, I was at it again today.

September weekend, off work, wife and kids in Blackpool. Spells 'FREEDOM'. Better make the most of it and do some twitching birding. Reports of 2 Buff Breasted Sands at Tyninghame was enough to tempt me. Not particularly a Mega but always nice to see:

The tide was very low and not conducive to finding the SemiP that has also been present. I nonetheless tried unsuccessfully. 2 Greenshanks were notable. I abandoned it in favour of the nearby Coffee Shop and then to Barns Ness for some sea watching. The sea watching was a complete non event with only 3 Puffin being worthy of a mention.

At high tide I returned to Tyninghame but in truth there were few small waders and certainly no SemiP. A marauding Peregrine was a year tick and there were several Whimbrel.
