Saturday 9th April

A great Spring day. Jeff had an Iceland gull at Machir Bay, heading toward Coull Point. James had a meagre count of 9 WTEs on Loch Gruinart this glorious afternoon, as well as an osprey headed north, a merlin, 22 twite and a little egret.

Gruinart was buzzing with life, the barnies getting noticeably louder and in bigger groups. Several birds ringed at Malin (Ireland) and Iceland were amongst the flocks. Skeins of white-fronts were heading high and NW, safe journey home to all of them. 119 redshank were feeding on the low-tide mud.
