Friday 19th September

From Irvine Harbourside I watched the last two hours of the rising tide. Yesterday's 2 Pintail were present, as was a newly arrived Shoveler and pair of Scaup. 2 Curlew Sandpipers were still present. A Common Sandpiper was on the bund at the Harbour. A Kingfisher made a couple of appearances. The young female Peregrine was hunting, diving at a Redshank and a Lapwing.
