A slightly better day after the rain and wind- (just rain today). The Rochdale birders have reported 20 Turnstones at Portnahaven and 3 Snipe at Bladdie. The Brambling is still enjoying the bird food at Kilchoman, and so far avoiding the attentions of a cruising Sparrowhawk. At Loch Gruinart today 5 different Hen Harriers, a Sparrowhawk, 1520 Golden Plover, many with black bellies and 335 Lapwing.
