Weather from the west producing rapidly changing conditions all day - from dry and sunny with a moderate breeze to some heavy isolated downpours and stronger winds by evening.
Neil McMahon with his Naturetrek group on their last day got lucky finding a Waxwing at the Port Askaig ferry terminal. Gary T. found Crossbills up at Caol Ila, while Noel Hand counted 6-7 Little Egrets at Gruinart. I was up at RSPB Gruinart this afternoon and found the Green-winged Teal among large numbers of Common Teal and 4 Black-tailed Godwits close to the N. hide, plus a pair of White-tailed Eagles out on the flats eating a large fish. Val P. found us a lone Brent Goose in with the thousands of Barnacle Geese on the fields, but no sign there of the Red-breasted Goose. Mike Hill had a Barn Owl hunting along the road verge at 5.30pm between Bowmore and Bridgend.
