Friday 3 September

 A nice surprise for Lauren yesterday when a looking at Loch Gorm she spotted 9 common scoter an a single whooper swan.

George had a juvenile willow warbler in the garden at Coultorsay.  A lovely time of year when the spring/summer migrants meet the autumn/winter birds. 

James had 3 white-tailed eagles over Bridgend, while Jim spotted a young curlew sandpiper in the dunlin flock at Loch Gruinart.

Mary-Ann reported 4 buzzards circling and calling at Kildalton, and a flock of 25 pied wagtails at Tigh Cargaman, Port Ellen.

Not much from my own corner of the Island to report this time as was busy most of the day. In the garden at Port Wemyss there were 3 wagtails most of the afternoon.  It was a much cooler day, I didnt see many swallows active.
