DAY 2: 24/05/15 KING EIDER
Drove short distance to Newburgh and found the long-staying King Eider on the Ythan Estauary. Same place we saw our first one in 1995. Found some nice Yellowhammers on the golf course here. Did the Forvie sands circuit. Then up to Loch Strathbeg RSPB reserve (the blue loch at the top of the map), where we found some Little Gulls and an Osprey. Managed to see 72 bird species today.
Stayed Holiday Inn, Express, Aberdeen for 2nd night.
