Wednesday 3rd September

A wet day with the tide almost in. A Kingfisher was fishing in the River Irvine against a backdrop of 7 Snipe. A Couple of Common Sandpipers and a Greenshank were nearby. 56 Wigeon and a Bar-tailed Godwit were on the Garnock Estuary at Bogside. A Wheatear was on the old racetrack. A further 6 Snipe were on the upper estuary. Well over 100 Goldfinches were feeding in the northwest corner of the Garnock Floods.
