Further bright, dry and sunny weather today, with a light, cooling breeze at times, though seas flat calm.
Clive McK. reports a fine Golden Eagle over his house at Gruinart in the morning and the LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER still at the North Hide RSPB Gruinart this evening. Wayne Speight had a couple of Grasshopper Warblers near Fairy Hill, Kildalton and Christine Menzies sent in this fine photo of a male Hen Harrier from Kilnaughton.
Today, (Thursday) I was on Jura for the day and found 2 Tree Pipits at Tarbert, had a trio of Hen Harriers high in the air at Lussa and a Golden Eagle overhead at Lealt. Whilst buying a bottle of the very fine Lussa Gin at the Lussa distillery, Claire Fletcher told me of a Magpie seen on Jura at Inverlussa and Lussagiven on 6th April - only the 5th record I have for the species on Jura.
