Quiet overcast weather rather than the sunshine that was promised for most of this week but only happened on Monday. The first rain for the week arrived this afternoon.
Yesterday, Gary T found the Cackling Goose at Leorin in the Barnacle Goose flock that moves regularly between there and the Cornabus/Ballivicar/Kintra area. He took this photograph of it just before the flock was spooked by a young White-tailed Eagle. Later on, he found the Kingfisher that seems to have taken up residence in the Bridgend merse area. Mary R saw a Kestrel on the way to Tormisdale and commented that this is a really reliable area to see one.
Today, Mary saw a Little Egret at Crosshouses, 4 Chough at Octofad, and a White-tailed Eagle flying over Claddach. Then, in the afternoon, James H reported a Green-winged Teal seen from the South Hide at Gruinart and a Gadwall from the North Hide. Green-winged Teal appear at Gruinart almost every winter, frequently staying for weeks or even months.
