Rain overnight and into the morning gave way to a sunnier afternoon, but it clouded over again by early evening and drizzled some more with a light SW wind sure to bring more unsettled weather to us over the next few days.
A little bit of bird news for you today:
Gary T. saw a couple of Common Scoter on Loch Gorm and a Whinchat on the shore there.
