Sunday 29th March

A tousy old day out here with the odd blatter of rain thrown in for good measure.... Yesterday over at Port Askaig while waiting on the ferry to depart, the Horwich birders had counted 16 Black Guillemots, a GND and 3 Gannets flew along the Sound. New birders who arrived yesterday, Nadia and Darren from Essex, had a choppy crossing coming over, and while coming into Port Askaig they had 2 pairs of Red breasted Merganser, a GND, pr of Mute Swans and several Black Guillemots. This morning, while not venturing out from their cottage over on the High road over at Glenegedale, they had managed to see a pr of Stonechats, pr of Whinchats, pr of Goldfinches a Robin and a Pied Wagtail. Perhaps they managed out this afternoon....
