Wednesday 2 February

A few sightings shared today. Margaret at the Kilchoman reserve enjoyed spectacular views of a pair of white-tailed eagles.  She also counted 9 chough up on the crag at Kilchoman, the most she's counted this winter.  Mark counted 10 whooper swans at Ardnave Loch, and a little egret at 'smelly corner'. 

Forgot to report Gary's Iceland gull on Sunday, seen at Scarabus road end.

Quiet down my end today, although on my drive 'up country' I was lucky enough to see an otter in the sea off Carn, then a solitary curlew in the fields near Port Mor.  Near the villages this morning there was a particular loud 'bird' which kept us entertained...

The Northern Lighthouse Board appears to have been dropping supplies, or maybe staff to check the buildings, or maybe even just for the hell of it. (Photo by Tom Evans)
