A few birds through from Gary and Wendy, all from yesterday
"Very windy and heavy squally showers today, and nothing much around.Our
sightings for Sunday areas follows, Carnain: Oystercatchers, Barnies, Shelduck, Curlew & Blackbird. "
I received a couple of sightings from Chris Corrigan, who I believe could be staying the cottage next
door to Gary and Wendy at Crosshouses...
"Arrived on Saturday, for a week. Looks a bit wild! Staying at Cross House, Bridgend. 29 P-b Brent Geese down on the shore this
morning. A Woodcock on the Loch Gruinart Woodland Trail but nothing else out of
the ordinary."
The "Port Ellen 4" had also been out and about in the great spell of weather, we are having at present!! "Quite a bright day considering the rather fresh Scottish breeze (!) making
birding a challenge. Sunday's main sightings were -
Finlaggan woods: Crossbill (only 1) at the Y junction of the track, Coal Tit, Reed Bunting, Buzzard, Skylark on track to woods.
Ardnave: Chough, Whoopers & Goldeneye (we didn't venture to the
beach!).

Redshank, Buzzard, Wigeon, Whoopers, Mute Swan, Teal, B H gull, Whitefronts &
