Yesterday Mary Redman had seen her first Swallow of the year flying across the bay down at Portnahaven. Also yesterday in the early evening, Mary counted over 100 Redwing flying past, up behind the village.

Mandy has also sent some sightings seen by herself
"Tuesday, at dusk 200 white fronts and 300 barnies flying towards Loch Gruinart, then on Wednesday at dusk 50 white fronts, then last night nothing (apart from the usual 20 or so greylags in the fields).

Yesterday and the day before a calling chough flew over.

Last week, there was a flock of around 50 skylarks at the top of the track, some dust bathing.

Last night, I heard a mistle thrush singing at dusk."
