Subject: Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Red-throated Loon and Purple Sandpipers


Yesterday when I was searching for the Snowy Egret at Duncan's Cove I =
spotted what I thought was a large flycatcher. I couldn't get a decent =
look so I took four blind shots of the shrub the bird was working from. =
It was a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I saw three Purple Sandpipers fly past =
and deposit themselves behind a coastal headland, my first examples of =
this species for the year. I did see the egret earlier from the driveway =
to the castle but it was too distant for meaningfull photos.

Earlier at Duncan Reef whilst enjoying my coffee a Red-throated Loon =
flew past. There were three Black Guillemots floating and diving =
offshore that I couldn't morph into Dovekies, try as I might. The area =
has been frequented by Leach's Storm Petrels but they have been =
impossible to photograph well.
