Sunday 19th September

Another sunny, quite warm and pleasant day, but not a lot of birds to report. Mark & Peter took a quick look on Loch Indaal this afternoon before turning their attentions onto Loch Gruinart. The tide was fairly high on Loch Indaal making observations tricky, but there were c.670 Greylags present. Over on Loch Gruinart, the tide was still quite low and waders were dispersed across a large area of flats – making observation equally tricky. However, we did note a group of 5 Barnacle Geese present with a group of 7 pale-bellied Brent Geese more or less associating with them. Amidst the many Curlew, Dunlin, Ringed Plovers and Sanderling were 15 Black-tailed Godwits and 8 Grey Plovers.
