Thursday 4th & Friday 5th July

An improvement in the weather from cool and rainy yesterday to eventually a very pleasant calm and sunny day today.

Yesterday was fairly quiet for bird reports: a Merlin near the airport seen by Steve & Lyn Rogers, while Linden up at Ardnave had a good count of 28 Chough along with a White-tailed Eagle and the usual Whinchats and Twite. There was no sign of the reported shrike.

Today just two bits of news: Gary T. had a Great Spotted Woodpecker in woodlands at Achnaclach near Ballygrant and Louise Muir on a trip away from home on Jura had a pair of Crossbills at Gearach on Islay.
