Counter to yesterday's blog, some more astute readers have notified us that tomorrow isn’t the Last Tuesday in August – so if anyone
has come up with some ideas in the next few days, there may yet be a Bird Nerds
gathering on the 31st.
Today’s weather continued to be dominated by a high pressure system providing clear, calm and sunny weather with quite high temperatures – briefly back to summer and very pleasant indeed.
David Dinsley noted a flock of c.100 Twite including many juvenile birds on the cliffs between the American Monument and Lower Killeyan this morning and Mary-Ann Featherstone saw 70 or more near Kildalton this evening, with photos of birds on the telegraph wires.
Later, David Dinsley sent in a sighting of an Osprey seen fishing at Loch Kinnabus by visitor Kane Brides, while Gary Turnbull saw 2 adult White-tailed Eagles sat on their favourite perch – the rocky island at the top of Loch Indaal near Bridgend.
Over on Loch Gruinart James How had a
bumper count of 1405 Greylag Geese along with a couple of Peregrines, a
Sparrowhawk and 10 Black-tailed Godwits.
