Further early passage at the Bill came in the form of a trickle of arriving MeadowPipits and the first 2 CarrionCrows of the season in off the sea; 2 more Red-throated Divers also passed by on the sea. The harbour was also a little livelier with the return of the Red-neckedGrebe as well as 5 GreatNorthernDivers, a Black-throatedDiver, 5 Black-neckedGrebes and 6 CommonScoter.
