Monday 11th April

 A cold, fairly windy and cloudy day with few observations to tell you about.

Neil McGillivray had a Brambling at his bird feeders at Gruinart.

Mark Shields reports 3 Black-tailed Godwits at the S. Hide and just 1 lonely White-tailed Eagle on the loch. He also sent in these photos of one of those confusing and messy hybrid type geese.

Val Peacock had 3 Siskins on her feeders at Port Charlotte for the second day running.

The most interesting observation for me during a quick look on Loch Skerrols was 3-4 House Martins trying to find flying insects over the water - my first hirundines for 2022.
