We walked along the beach at Littleferry this morning for over an hour without seeing any birds except for....
Only as we walked back did some of the usual inhabitants start to reappear, including a small flock of....
....red-breasted merganser, small groups of eider........some shelduck........and small numbers of widgeon. There were some conspicuous absentees. For example, there are always, but always oystercatchers at Littleferry - but not today; and there are usually redshanks, these only starting to reappear as we were leaving. And we spotted half-a-dozen curlew, not along the shores of the loch but in a farmer's field.
