Saturday 23rd October

 Weather seemed to have worsened again today with regular showers and grey skies, with strongish southerly winds - not nice! Thus very few birds recorded as most folks stayed indoors..

Undaunted, Teresa Morris was "out and about" despite the dreich weather and amongst other sightings, found a Little Egret on Loch Gruinart on the Kilinallan side. Her photo below - 


Lance Degnan from the 'Birding Abroad' group from Yorkshire and Dorset sent in some exciting observations:  A Little Auk, 5 Slavonian Grebes and 8 Long-tailed Ducks on Loch Indaal and a first-winter Mediterranean Gull at Machir Bay. Yesterday they saw a Red Kite on the Oa.
