Yesterday...
Letham.
Variety wise not much change to last week but a nice selection of birds present topped by 2 very smart looking White Wagtails. Also 2 LRP, 1 Black-tailed Godwit, 3 Ringed Plover.
Fantastic day weather wise as well.

Today...
Kincraig Point.
Cooler and cloudier than Sat. The wind was coming from the East but it's still a bit too early to get much out of it up here. One thing I did think about at this time of year is a Scandinavian drift Ring Ouzel. No such luck and not a lot else either. A few odds and ends moving along the coast including at least 2 Crossbill heard only.

Kilconquhar Loch
A drake Scaup still present here. Also saw my first house martins of the year, part of a mixed flock of approximately 130 hirundines feeding low over the water. Mostly Sand Martins but also around 30 Swallow.

In my humble opinion you would struggle to beat a spring White Wagtail for smart looks.
