Variable weather with light to moderate winds from the west, some cloud, some rain and quite cool temperatures.
Yesterday David D. had an unseasonably large flock of c.100 Chaffinches feeding on a topped field at Kintra.
Today Simon Tardivel reports a couple of Chough at Ardnave and a White-tailed Eagle at Machir Bay. Clive McK. had a flock of 19 Black-tailed godwits in summery plumage coming n ew in to Loch Gruinart and Roger Broad and I had a further 7 arriving later in the afternoon. We also counted 145 Curlews and the Little Egret at Gruinart plus a Peregrine sat on the shoreline. In the same area, Bill Bealey saw the summering Whooper Swan, 50 Greylag Geese, and single Buzzard and Snipe from the North Hide.
There were 19 Tufted Ducks on Loch Gorm and over at Kildalton, Mary-Ann F. had a family of Great Black-backed Gulls on the shore where the two families of Red-breasted Mergansers hang on, bravely defending their chicks.
