Wednesday 22 September

As I was putting my daughter on the school bus this morning, a wee snipe flew overhead.  Later up at Claddach, a sparrowhawk followed the wall along the fields near the loch.

Peter braved an hours sea watch at Frenchmans Rocks - 200 gannets feeding, 75 razorbills and singles of manx shearwaters, bonxie, kittiwake and red throated diver. The best sighting was of 2 purple sandpiper passing by.

Mark spied a peregrine at Loch Gruinart along with 31 blacktailed godwits.

The wind dropped away to nothing this afternoon, but it is to pick up again overnight.
