A sanderling with several dunlin on Badentarbat beach was my first real returning wader of the year.
One of the common gulls had caught a sand eel, and the other one was adopting a food-begging posture; not sure which one eventually flew away with it, though.
A great skua was loitering with intent.
Two rock pipits and a wheatear were on the beach, and two common terns were fishing close in. As I drove away from Achnahaird, I could see a distant greenshank wading in the river.
