Some gusts of cool winter air, and some winter visitors have turned up on Po Toi.
If the birds hadn't found Po Toi, who knows where they'd be - next stop the Philippines ?
About two dozen (!) photographers were on the 08:15 ferry from Aberdeen. I can say that I think coverage of Po Toi yesterday was thorough.
There didn't seem to be many people birding for the sake of birding, almost everyone on Po Toi for the birds had a camera.
Including, obviously, me.
We left on the 16:30 boat to Stanley. A hardy few stayed on until the 18:00 ferry back to Aberdeen, but it would have been pretty dark by then.

Daurian Redstart
