Thank you to Mark who's Eagle eyes spotted him on the ground Sunday eve. He didn't feed him or try to launch him but put him in a box and found me on https://t.co/vibbMo8Qkg *All swifts must be hydrated before feeding please never feed a Swift as can do more harm than good.*

First full day up in Northumberland and picked up the returning male Black Scoter at Cocklawburn Beach. A nice tick. Also a male Long Tailed Duck amongst the 100s of Common Scoter.

@Mrs_Cahill_Geog My heart goes out to you guys. Over the years I could see what he meant to you and I know how much it hurts to loose a part of the family.
