Saturday 20th May

A fairly grey, misty and cloudy day giving way to drizzle and rain by evening.

The only bird news was a sighting by James How of an immature Glaucous Gull back at Uiskentuie - probably the same individual that has been seen there on and off since January. There have been long-staying birds in the past and perhaps this bird, still not mature enough to breed, is not going to bother flying north to the Arctic this year?

Mary Ann Featherstone sent in this fine photo from Kildalton of the first Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary butterfly she has noted this year - much prettier than a Glaucous Gull!
