The temperature might have gone up to about 11°C, but the wind today was bitterly cold. We tried Alturlie Point again for tree sparrows and got lucky, with a small mobile flock of seven or eight birds.
The Moray and Beauly Firths were alive with auks whizzing madly up and down; most were too far away to identify, but these guillemots came slightly closer.
Several hundred lapwings were seen in the air and the nice rolling "churrup" of skylarks was heard.
