Sunday 23rd January

 A fairly grey, cold day - damp but not raining. Despite the weather the day got off to a good start (for me at least) when, whilst having my breakfast, I watched an immature Iceland Gull fly past in a southerly direction past Bruichladdich pier.

At the other end of the island David Dinsley saw a drake Goosander and heard a Kingfisher at Aros Bay near Kildalton, where he also noticed a likely Great spotted Woodpecker nest-hole in the woods there.

This afternoon Mark Shields and I wandered down the Rhinns and had a couple of prolonged views of a pair of White-tailed Eagles, still out and about towards dusk after 4.30pm.
