Yet more brilliant weather – warm, sunny, dry, calm on the day that the clocks went forward an hour into Summer Time.
Late news from yesterday: Mary Redman saw a flock of 50 Golden Plover down near Cladville.
Today Mary
reports a Wheatear at Claddach and a Brindled Ochre moth on her shed wall this
evening – an uncommon species apparently. (Photo below).
Callum
McGregor was watching Barnies at the head of Loch Indaal and noted a couple of
Pale-bellied Brents with them plus a trio of “odd” geese (photo below) – possibly the same odd hybrids that were perplexing people last month. 
Visiting birder Derek Coleman sent in an email: “I have been on the Island since Wednesday but today was the first that I had something that might be of interest. At least 26 Slavonian Grebes and 8 Great Northern Divers on Loch Indaal off Uisgeantsuidhe. Also Canada Goose and 120 Golden Plover at Ardnave Loch”. The high count of Slav. Grebes is certainly noteworthy and of interest – thanks Derek.
