Wrong Patch again!!!

My last day in Scotland saw me visit another persons local patch again. This time it was the turn of Mark "the Fat Golden Paul Bear Scholes" Lewis's patch, Girdleness. Things hadn't changed since my last visit there a few years ago, the weather was bitter and wet, too much dog sh*t about and very few birds. It started well with the long staying Glaucous Gull showed in its usual roofs. After that there wasn't much about, a low count of 20-30 Purple Sandpipers at Greyhope Bay, 2 Common Scoter and a Great Crested Grebe at Nigg Bay the highlights. On the non-bird front there was a lot of dolphin activity at the mouth with over 20 Bottle-nosed Dolphins.Glaucous GullBottle-nosed Dolphins
