Rough Ruff !

A most enjoyable evening last night at friends meant a sore head this morning and the inevitable rough feeling of a hangover. Fortunately the cure was a good trudge around patch, the Juv Shelduck was still around the Houb and a text of a Black-tailed Godwit, found in the company of Curlew and Oystercatchers was a patch tick.

With no migrants still or Knot, decided to visit Skaw for the 3 Ruff frequenting East Loch beside the golf club, a worth while visit as they gave great views. A Willow warbler in the plantation made up the days quota and hopes are raised with the arrival of southerly winds tomorrow, i hope.
