Saturday 12th February

A brighter, sunnier and much milder day, though still with too much rain at times.

It was Colin Bradshaw's last full day on the island and he told us of the following:

2 White tailed Eagles along cliffs at Nerabus [photo below)

At Ardnave:there were still 10 Whooper Swans, and flocks of Chough totalling at least 26 birds along with further sightings of 2 young White-Tailed Eagles. At Loch Gorm there was a male Hen Harrier, and finally a tally of birds at 
Gruinart: came to 1750-2000 Golden Plover, 350 Bar tailed Godwit, 1 Black-tailed Godwit, 50 Sanderling, 750 Dunlin, 6
Snipe and a couple of Bullfinches.

Also up at Gruinart today were 2 Little Egrets seen by Mark Shields, seen from the South Hide.
