In a strong wind many birds just wouldn't settle and "stay in one place anymore".
Distant videos from Montrose Basin, filmed with my Nikon Coolpix P1000 at insane distances.
Whimbrel seen from the Tayock Hide, looking north towards the caravans, click here for video
Juvenile Knot from the Tayock Hide, click here
Juvenile Oystercatcher, again from Tayock Hide, click here
Also seen very briefly near Tayock Hide, a Spotted Redshank which I failed totally to photograph with a huge over-exposure making the bird bright grey looking. I thought this older photo of one at the Lurgies with a Redshank for comparison might substitute.
Spotted Redshank from 2017 at the Lurgies. Note the longer upper bill is all black, the lower part red and black. No white wing bar and certainly more spotted
Redshank from 2019 at East Haven, shorter bill with red base and distinct white rear edge to the wings
