Black-tailed Godwit Influx

31 Black-tailed Godwit was the highest count on Cotehill Loch so far, by "Cotehill Birder" yesterday, there was also a distant group on Meikle Loch first thing this morning with in excess of 20 Ruff also present. Good numbers of Snipe  in the Meikle and Slains area this evening and a single Ruff early evening on Cotehill. In addition there was a Green Sandpiper again on the Feu farm roadside pool.
Other birds include a Grey Wagtail about Kirkton this am and 2 Bullfinches near the Snub Ythan car park this evening.
A good weather system appears to be building in time for the weekend...perhaps some chance of some early passerine migration and seawatching.
