Mustn't grumble

A bit of poor weather to start the day stopped us from seeing Golden Eagle but we managed to get Peregrine instead just as the rain started! There was plenty to see while the showers came through with Greenshank, Hen Harrier, GN Diver, a close WT Eagle and two distant WT Eagle being the highlights. We paid another visit to the Golden Eagle site and got a single bird flying around...
...and then being chased by a couple of Ravens.
When the sun came back out in the afternoon a couple of Common Terns at one stop was the best we could manage. Another shower pushing through seemed to stir things up again as we picked up Mountain Hare...
...a sleeping Black-tailed Godwit...
...a few Dunlin, Ringed Plover and about 30 Whimbrel. The return journey turned up a single Red-throated Diver...
...and a couple of Cuckoo.
