Meikle Loch Waders
This evening there were at least 10 Ruff feeding actively around the shoreline at Meikle Loch, 6 Greenshank flew in as a flock and there was a single Knot looking rather out of place. Lapwing numbers remain high on the loch side and in nearby fields. Otherwise Pied Wagtail numbers seem to have increased substantially in the Slains and Meikle area, and there are various small flocks of Meadow Pipit roving about.
