Sunday 12th September 2021

 Fairly calm with light northerly winds for much of the day, but with periods of sunshine and showers.

Clive McKay had seen two Ospreys together, perched on fence-posts at Bun an Uillt on the east side of Loch Gruinart yesterday evening and noticed a Whitethroat in the garden at Creag Mhor on the Ardnave side of the loch today. Also in the Loch Gruinart area, James How found Jim Dickson’s Curlew Sandpiper still present along with 5 Knot, a flock of 25 Pale-bellied Brent Geese and a Peregrine in residence.

On the other side of the island, David Dinsley noted a Merlin and Sparrowhawk hunting close together over Loch Kinnabus, while Mary-Ann Featherstone had a couple of Whooper Swans over Loch Fada up on the Mulindry Road.
