Had a magical few hours at Skinflats yesterdayafternoon, not much seen but the sounds of nature won the contest, with Water Rails & Cetti's Warbler to the fore.

I returned to Skinflats (Forth) hoping to see one of the recent Cetti's Warblers but no joy on a beautiful sunny morning. Lots of Reed Buntings, a few Wrens & Dunnocks & Robins. Best of all was a lovely flock of ten Black-tailed Godwits.
