Tuesday 13th October

David and Nancy Massie had gone from Kilchoman, down to Bruichladdich and on through Port Charlotte to Portnahaven and returned to Port  Charlotte by Kilchiaran yesterday. They had seen the following birds when out..

"Bruichladdich; 3 Red-breasted Mergansers, 1 Snipe (sitting on small rock offshore) 3 Ringed Plovers

Port Charlotte: 2 Grey Wagtails, 14 Turnstones

Portnahaven: Very cooperative Redwing at the road side

Back road north gave us Golden Eagle, male Hen Harrier, Kestrel as well as a Buzzard"


Today, Richard Belter had seen the impressive sight of the geese returning to their roost at Gruinart. Over at Bunnahabhain, he saw some Gannets flying past and then at Finlaggan he had a flock of over 20 Fieldfares and then when driving down the Glen road, he saw 2 mixed flocks of Redwing and Fieldfares. Finally at Blackrock, he had seen 20 Common Scoter seen out on the top of Loch Indaal.  


Some top birds seen today by Johnathan Alder included 

"WT Eagle low flyover Loch Gorm plus male Merlin. Ringtail Hen Harrier Loch Gruinart."
