Pectoral Sandpiper
A balmy weekend, at least in spells, which actually had a quieter summer feel to it. Periods of easterlies and rain so far during this next week have resulted so far in a Pectoral Sandpiper paying visits to Meikle Loch (maybe the same one seen end of the week in the Logie Buchan area in truth) and what looks to be a 1st Summer male Grey-headed (thunbergi) Wagtail on Meikle as well. I think first summer as the throat looks a little paler than I would expect and there appear to be brown tones extensively in the wing feathers.
