Week 35
27 August – 2 September 2025
During my big year, I will update my blog most weeks. This is the thirty-fifth week’s recap. The number next to the day indicates my Scottish year list at the end of that day. Birds written in italics indicate year ticks.
August 30 - Day 242: 194
Not much real birding was done this week other than on Saturday, when, after news of a Barred Warbler at Forvie Centre the day before, we decided to go to try to see it. Unfortunately, we didn't see it and there weren't many birds other than a few Wigeon on Sand Loch.
August 31 - Day 243: 194
Today, we decided to visit Girdleness, since a juvenile Black Tern was seen at Greyhope Bay. I saw many waders, such as Whimbrel, Knot, Purple Sandpiper, Turnstone, Redshank, Curlew, and the ubiquitous Oystercatchers. Sadly, despite scanning the many Common Terns, we didn't manage to spot the Black Tern, which had most likely moved on.
