Those R.Ps and Dunlin are hanging on well. Will have been a bit more pleasant up there today for you

Well it had stopped raining but that wind was still blowing hard. That weather front could just come ready for fetching some more waders in for the weekend Bri.

We currently have huge numbers of Ringed Plover here on Orkney (I counted 406 in one flock today), those are pretty big numbers for yourselves if I recall correctly. Greenland breeders held up by these SW winds?
