Post by: lovemypt on June 03, 2012, 11:03:21 AM

Quick trip out to Rattray marsh this morning, 6-7 Short-billed Dowitchers, 2-3 spotted sandpipers, couple of mallard families, mute swam family, great blue heron, kingfisher, 1 Bonaparte's gull ( acting kind of sluggish so might be injured, however it was swimming around and walking, just not flying)
