Sunday 7th September

A Spotted Flycatcher and a couple of Chiffchaffs were in the Garnock East plantation. The Flycatcher again appeared to be associating with a tit flock. A Pintail was on the upper estuary. A ringtail Hen Harrier was being mobbed by Swallows over Bogside Racecourse. A quick stop-off at Capringstone Flash revealed a different Pintail along with a huge number of Mallard. In among Capringstone's ducks was a pure white Mallard that had been on the Garnock Estuary a couple of days earlier.
