Dave Wood clearly wasn't swearing his oath of allegiance this morning as he suspiciously managed a full count of Loch Indaal between Bridgend and Bowmore before lunch - results were 19 whimbrel, 380 dunlin, 3 grey plover, 68 ringed plover, 136 oystercatcher and single redshank, common sand, barwit and curlew.
Mary got in touch to say that the terns around Claddach and Orsay Island are back, and she heard a corncrake between Portnahaven and Port Wemyss. It looks like there might have been a mini corncrake influx yesterday, James thinks there are now 3 on reserve at Loch Gruinart, plus WTE, a lone barnie and an arctic tern. James also had a big wader flock on the loch, at least 635 dunlin and 285 ringed plover.
Up at Kilchoman, Margaret's corncrake is still crexcrexing away.
The only picture I've been sent today is this beauty from Peter...
...who it should be noted is currently in Saudi Arabia. That's all. Cheerie!
