The day started grey and rainy at times with a strong breeze, but by the evening it was sunny and calm.
Billy Stitchell still has his family of 4 Goldcrests in the garden at Caol Ila along with Treecreepers and this lovely Grey Wagtail.
Simon Stuart was on Jura for the day and reports thus: Goldcrest, Long-tailed, Blue & Coal Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Siskin, Redpoll, Goldfinch, Wren, Willow Warbler, Song Thrush and Blackbirds all at Knockrome and Corrna house area. A pair of Snipe a mile south of Lussa and a Common sandpiper 2 miles north of Lussa.
Most other news today relates to entomology and cetaceans!: a Forester Moth seen by Mary R. and several reports of Painted Lady and Red Admiral butterflies, while Fiona Mc. saw at least 2 Minke Whales in the outer reaches of Loch Indaal this evening. There were rafts of Manx Shearwaters in the area too, suggesting good fishing/feeding opportunities for both seabirds and whales.
