The purple sandpipers are back in town -17/03/10

Mrs B and I had a quick look at Torekov this morning. The rev was looking pretty good with 11 purple sandpipers back on station. Also oystercatcher (25), ringed plover (4), dunlin (1) and redshank (1). Looking from the harbour we had three razorbill - a year-tick (at last).

After more firewood exercise we took lunch at Grytskaren, pretty quiet here, still nothing in amongst the big flock of eider but a single meadow pipit was noteworthy.
