A second ringed Kittiwake at Troon harbour last weekend, this one ringed on Inchkeith as an adult in 2009. Likely to have crossed overland from the Forth to the Clyde on its way to winter in the north Atlantic #ringreading

A check of South Lanarkshire gull colonies yesterday came up with two birds ringed in 2020 as chicks in an apparently now abandoned colony in the Moorfoots. First sighting away from there of 2BTB and first sighting of 2XHT since a report in Brittany in 2022.

A non-birding holiday to beautiful Lithuania still provided some good birds like this Wood Sandpiper in Kaunas, and nice to see a young Fieldfare being fed by a parent.
