Another day of light winds and "sunshine and showers".
The Naturetrek group led by Neil McMahon found the Kingfisher in the usual spot on the merse at Bridgend this morning along with 15 Whooper Swans and 2 large Canada Geese. Later they walked out to Ardnave Point finding 5 White-tailed Eagles (photo below) towards Nave Island, plus Hen Harrier, 35 Chough and Great northern Diver, a Great Skua and a Brambling.
Gary T. was up at Finlaggan and encountered 3 Crossbills and 2 Swallows over the conifer plantation there. Clive McK. noted 100+ Icelandic Redwings up at Creag Mhor, while Alan Bowie found a lone Snow Bunting at Saligo.
Robbie & Stuart Langsbury (sons of the late Gordon Langsbury whose super photos we often use on this blog) had an adult Golden Eagle at Ardnave Loch (and a Chough or two see photo), a male Merlin sat on a fence post near the RSPB Visitor Centre and a flock of 20 x Redwing. On the Low road just past the airport they found a male Hen Harrier and further on, a flock of 50 x Fieldfare over the Port Ellen Maltings.
