Two days of mostly moderate northerly winds with sunshine interspersed with cold wintery showers. Wednesday's precipitation turning at times into hail and even very light snow flurries.
The only bird news yesterday came from James H. reporting2 White-tailed Eagles at Gruinart, 2 Golden Eagles at Killinallan and 3 Snow Buntings at Ardnave.
Today Mary R. found an adult and young Whooper Swan on the beach at Currie Sands, Claddach. This is an unusual habitat and possibly due to them having just arrived exhausted from Iceland where apparently there are still plenty of the species waiting to make their way south. Ed B. had 4 Pink-footed Geese with Greenland White-fronts at Cornabus, while James H. upped his Golden Eagle tally at Killinallan to 3 today along with another at Gruinart and 2 White-tailed Eagles as well as the 3 Snow Buntings still at Ardnave.
