thurs 3 March

A very pleasant day today, especially the as at the afternoon went on. Todays photo of the sunset at Kilchoman by Amy Hannett. 

Over at the Cornabus "Very Nice Puddle", Ed spotted a pair of Gadwall among the mixed flock of 70 or so teal, wigeon, and mallard. Nearby, 16 curlew and lapwing returning to breeding sites.

While Mark was off reserve today he spotted the Iceland gull still at Blackrock, while back on the reserve 2 sub-adult WTE were seen.

At Claddach, the pied wagtail was still present and busy feeding. Overhead the optimistic skylark were still calling. 

Over on Kerrera my sister found a female pale Brindled-beauty moth in her garden.  Linking onto my comment yesterday on the importance of a messy garden! The females are flightless.
