Wednesday 18th June

Warm, light, southerly winds with varying cloud and light drizzle at times.

Additional news from yesterday was a further sighting in the evening of the Velvet Scoter drake at Easter Ellister and a Barn Owl at Nerabus (photo below) seen by Jeff Duncan. Jamie Barton had a male Hen Harrier down at Portnahaven. The birding group led by David Rosair were on Jura yesterday and saw a pale-phase Arctic Skua just south of Feolin.

Today Jeff Duncan saw 3 Hen Harriers (2F + 1M) and a pair of Bullfinches near Kilnaughton, a pair of Siskins at Port Charlotte and heard a Corn Crake on The Oa by the RSPB car park.
