Sun 11th Jan

Jim Dickson, one of the committee members of the Argyll Bird Club, had been over on Friday trying find and photograph the Canvasback duck but with no luck, the bird was not to be seen, and of course the wind had picked up by then and Loch Indaal changed from flat calm to rather choppy, making the spotting of the bird rather difficult. Jim did manage to locate a Glaucous Gull at the head of Loch Indaal, while on Loch Skerrols he had a Lesser Scaup which had been seen by John Armitage and Andy too, but on Loch Indaal. Jim kindly sent me images over, but due to technological problems, I have not been able to share them with you!
