Light SE winds and sunshine for much of the day.
David Shallcross counted c.100 Bar-tailed Godwits on Loch Indaal near to Bowmore this morning where there were 23 Knot, some in red breeding plumage. Later, up at Bunnhabhain, he counted 3 Whinchats. Up at Gruinart Clive McK. was watching a Common Gull flying by when it glanced upwards. Clive did the same and found it was looking at an adult White-tailed Eagle being mobbed by an Osprey! Jack Mitchell saw probably/possibly the same Osprey at Loch Skerrols later in the day. Kath Butterworth heard a Corn Crake at Conisby and down at Bruichladdich had a Dunlin with a pink ring on the left leg and a yellow ring on the right with numbering 9U2. We'll try and find out where that bird originates from and let you know.
