Wednesday 25th October

Another pleasantly sunny and dry day. 

The day started early with a note from Louise Muir on Jura that she was hearing 3 different Tawny Owls and two Barn Owls.

Steve Ward noted the 2W Glaucous Gull which reappeared at Uiskentuie just before 9am.

Thereafter a likely candidate for a female American Wigeon was found by Dave Fairhurst on small ponds near Kintra and the road leading out to The Oa. Ed Burrell took a look later and confirmed it looks a good fit, but the bird is distant and better views are desirable.

Neil McMahon who departed with his Naturetrek group yesterday kindly sent in a few photos of his stay to brighten up the blog - many thanks and "haste ye back".
