Leri saltings at morning high tide and Clarach pm


A good number of Wigeon on the edge of the salt-marsh - I counted 180 but there were probably more - together with 3 Pintail, 45 Teal, 15 Mallard and a lone Merganser. A few small flocks of Redshanks moved along the tide line but were disturbed by do0g - walkers!

This afternoon at Clarach there was a male Goosander and a Merganser offshore
