Back on track now with todays sightings.
Jeff got in touch via email with a sighting of 5 white-tailed eagles at Loch Gruinart and a male hen harrier at Ardnave. No chough seen though, better luck tomorrow Jeff!
Chris via WhatsApp found the Iceland gull on the rocks near Loch Gorm house, Bruichladdich. Later today had good sightings of 2 ring-tailed hen harriers on the Carnain-Coullabus road and near Grainel, Gruinart. At Sanaigmore he spotted a golden eagle, plus some chough (sorry Jeff!), and at the head of Loch Indaal an immature WTE. He also noted a lot of displaying lapwing today, lovely signs of spring.
Yesterday I saw my first gannet of the year off Claddach. Today the lapwing were displaying in the cold wind, or despite the cold wind. Photo to cheer up todays blog of one of the local roe deer near Claddach Loch, taken by me for a change. The birds are a bit too quick for my photography skills!
