Earlier in the wk, 2 Med Gulls by the Seton Burn again on Wednesday (including red-7P8, the other adult depicted here), rather eclipsed by a stunning display by an adult male Peregrine, which circled and stooped into the gulls and small waders twice, missing a Turnstone by a whisker.

Wknd 28-29 August
Trip to Dundee Saturday so missed the first BigVis count - tried Sunday though, from Ferny Ness - unfortunately developed to very blustery conditions, which limited passerine migration (well, there was one bird, and I failed to ID it!). Link to full counts, nice to see skuas heading west, normally we can detect but a tiny proportion of those reaching Hound Point in Upper Forth which are en route to overland migration to the west coast (though on arriving home I found more and better ones had been seen from Musselburgh, as is typical). An adult Med went throo SW with BHG over the car park just after dawn.
