A little quiet on the birding front today, but it is Burns night and the 'neeps don't peel themselves! No "tim'rous beasties" spotted on my drive to Bowmore but the highlights from the car window: a ring-tailed hen harrier over Octofad on the Rhinns, a goldeneye drake just outside Bowmore, and 5 shelduck near Whin Park.
Nick and Alison Blinston sent in their sightings from their day on the Oa. A sparrowhawk at Mid-Cragabus, 2 WTE near Lower Killeyan, a buzzard mobbed by ravens. At the feeders "more twite than you could shake a stick at" which is a far greater description than 'a lot'! Finally, 2 golden eagle along Glen Golach and a kestrel. Thank you both.
Mary-Anne heard 2, possibly 3 tawny owls calling at Kildalton.
