Saturday 30th August

The rising tide pushed up a Black-tailed Godwit and a Knot towards the saltmarsh at Bogsdie. 25 Wigeon were at Bogside with some more on the upper estuary, but they might have been the Bogside birds moving location at high tide. 37 Teal flew onto the upper estuary – they were probably flushed from the Garnock East Farm Pool. 350 Lapwing and 21 Greenshanks were roosting on the upper estuary's saltmarsh. 11 Goosanders were on the upper estuary, with a further 12 at Bogside. One or two flocks of 15-18 Siskin were about: one flew east over the golf course, the other flew south east across the estuary from the Black Powder wood.
