Visitor, Mark Warburton yesterday had 2 Black tailed Godwit and also 2 Wigeon boh seen from the South Hide at Gruinart.
Another set of returning visitors included Jeff Duncan who arrived over on Saturday...
"Not
been over in the summer months for 8 years!
Had
a chough, grasshopper warbler and a calling corncrake this morning at our
accommodation just outside Port Charlotte. Then Snipe and sand martin at Machir
Bay followed by a lovely male Hen Harrier over the road before Foreland
House.
Then
took a drive down to Portnahaven on the back road via Kilchiaran. In the space
of an hour added Curlew, whinchat, cuckoo, a hunting male Merlin and
surprisingly a pair of Great skua bathing on the lochan at Claddach. Always
something to see no matter the time of year!"
Other returning visitors, The Rochdale Birders who we have not seen for some time, are back here again, and were in touch to say that they had seen a male Hen Harrier trying to flush a Linnet out of a Whin/ Gorse bush, but no joy....
