Friday 4th & Saturday 5th July

Two days of fairly dreich weather - drizzly, damp and a bit breezy at times with mostly overcast and cloudy skies.

There were no bird records yesterday, but a couple of notes for today:

Gary T. saw a Red-throated Diver flying over the Bunnahabhain road  towards The Sound and Clive McK. did an afternoon sea-watch at Frenchman's Rocks for two hours finding, most notably, large numbers (778)  of auk sp., 613 Manx Shearwaters, 280 Kittiwakes, 252 Gannets a single Arctic and 2 Great Skuas, plus 9 Fulmars, 4 Puffins and 4 Storm Petrels mostly moving towards the south.
