Saturday 8th January

Hello birdfans. George Jackson had a red-throated diver close in at Port Ban today, in between the filthy showers. Mary-Ann heard a couple of chough at the Big Strand, and our own Mary had a WTE at Claddach loch, 2 ravens at the beach, 20-odd curlew in a field just outside Portnahaven and 22 turnstone at Currie Sands yesterday. 

Gruinart today had 2 WTE, a grey wagtail, 3 bullfinch, 3 stonechat and 800ish golden plover mixed in with 100ish of their lapwing pals on the flats. 

A couple of pictures from Phil Edwards' December visit to finish, for no other reason than I'm short of sightings and we all need a bit more beauty in our lives.
