Wednesday 13th April

Yesterday James saw a gadwall outside the hide at Gruinart. There were dozens of displaying waders in Ardnave today - lapwings and redshanks, several drumming snipe and a flock of 14 golden plover. Couple wheatears were seen at Kilnave. At Gruinart several willow warblers were heard, rooks in the rookery are busy feeding young and a sedge warbler was heard calling briefly.
