Late weekend update
3 Dotterel graced the spring sown fields leading up to the Collieston crossroads on Friday evening. A drake Garganey then was good to see on Meikle Loch on Saturday. No further reports of either since then. More westerly winds has now slowed the migration in evidence, except for large numbers of hirundines being present at Meikle most evenings just now. Close to a 1000 mixed Swallows, House Martin, Sand Martin, and a handful of Swift were there this evening.
