A much windier, grey day, but a few keen folks were birding.
David & Janet Franklin were on The Oa in the morning
where they found a flock of 200 Twite, a Rock Pipit and a Peregrine. Near to
Port Ellen were a couple of Golden Eagles followed by two White-tailed Eagles
and a Buzzard as they later passed by Whin Park on Loch Indaal.
Barry & Wautrad Englefield were up at Ardnave where they
too found a Golden Eagle along with Choughs. By the hides were a male Hen
Harrier and a good selection of the usual waders and geese.
On a more sombre note, we heard today that Nature Scot
confirms that a Great Black-backed Gull, Ringed Plover and Whooper Swan all found
dead back in December are confirmed as having died from Avian Flu.
