Moray Firth Autumn Survey Comment

WDCS observations break records…

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has kindly looked into the significance of the high numbers of birds that we recorded at the end of our survey on Wednesday.

They have confirmed that the Black Guillemot count of 97 (mainly off Findochty) is the highest ever recorded in NE Scotland (Moray, Aberdeenshire & Nairn), and the Great Northern Diver count (36) is the second highest ever in Moray & Nairn (there were 47 in Spey Bay in May 2005) and 36 is over 1% of the estimated Great Britain wintering population.

With thanks to Ian Francis.
