Winter has retreated and we are just awaiting the first clear signs of spring migration. There has been no sign of the American Wigeon for 2 weeks or so, but over in Aberdeen the Harlequin has been seen again in Seaton park today.
A few pictures from a few weeks ago shown below.
Today at Cransdale saw 15 Red-throated Divers just offshore, and plenty of Auks lurking around.There were at least 5 Purple Sandpipers to be seen on the rocks. Late afternoon there was a dapper adult Little Gull passing south past the point.There was a Redwing this morning down the track towards Old Slains, and another 12 Red-throated Diver and a single Common Scoter seen there.
Meanwhile on the Ythan one of the now almost usual Little Egrets was still present at the Snub. Presumably the same bird was seen last week beyond Inchgeck Island.
