A dry day for a change, but still with strong, quite cold winds until a bit of a calm by late afternoon.
Gary Turnbull had a Snow Bunting at Glen Burn, near Carnain
this morning, where Dave Beaumont found the Little Egret this afternoon. Nearby
at Blackrock in Loch Indaal Phil Hyde had counted 20+ Eiders, 8 Common Scoter,
15+ Red-breasted Mergansers and a Slavonian Grebe. Pete Hughes at Blackrock
later added 8 Scaup and 1-2 Long-tailed Ducks to the tally. Pete was also up
beyond Bunnahabhain and got lucky with a close inshore Little Auk, plus a
couple of Otters.
Elsewhere there was a group of 5 Greenshanks at the RSPB
North Hide this morning and some of the same “goodies” relocated in the afternoon – 5 Pochard still with Tufted
ducks on Loch Gorm and the American Wigeon and Long-tailed Duck still present
on Loch Skerrols.
