Rather blustery over here tonight, the ferry that crosses over to Jura from Port Askaig had its last crossing at 4 pm, while folk coming over from Kennacraig this evening said that it was not that calm a sailing, enough said!
Our Cheshire birders saw the following birds today, a Jack Snipe while going over to Loch Gruinart, at Gruinart itself there were 11 Pale bellied Brent, 68 Greylag and 325 Barnacle Geese. Down on Loch Indaal there were another 18 Brent Geese, 5 Whooper Swan and 95 Scaup. They also 14 Swallow over Loch Indaal, including 10 at Port Charlotte as well as 3 up at Ardnave.
Round on the barley stubble at Ballinaby this morning, there were 2 small groups of Greenland White-fronted Geese, one of 8 and the other numbered only 5. There were also 10 Greylags and a Sparrowhawk on the ground in the same field.
