The cool northerly breeze continues along with predominantly dry sunny weather.
All the birding news today comes from Kath Butterworth who heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker in the woodland near Cluanach along with a male Hen Harrier nearby. Later she heard Corn Crakes at Portnahaven and Port Mor near Port Charlotte and finished the day with a great sighting of 2 Long-tailed Skuas flying north up Loch Indaal off Port Mor. If only I'd been looking out of my window here at Bruichladdich at the time I might have them to my "garden list"!

We had two LT skuas through RSPB Gruinart yesterday evening, which perhaps ties in with Kath's sighting. I picked them up high to the south, mobbing a Common buzzard. They eventually flew north, low over the marsh, the closest bird perhaps 30yds away. My partner's first encounter with the species!
