Not what I was expecting today - checking the newly arrived Barnacle Geese (some 2,000+) around East Tiree for rings, when I came across this new juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Ruaig #BirdingScotland #PWC2026 @birdguides.bsky.social

That make sense Murphy and yes, it is a juvenile bird - see pic from today below:

Very nice Murphy! Your Buff-breast is only the 2nd Coll record (last one was in 1983!) and is a Argyll rarity description species. Hopefully, more good birds to come yet...

Jack snipe this afternoon was my 129th species of bird on my Lochwinnoch patch in 2026. Not much at first light on the patch, but had great view of peregrine in Greenock. Headed back in afternoon and found a Jack snipe on scrape and had good views of Slav on Aird Meadow #clydebirding
