The weather continues in much the same vein: breezy from the west with
rain showers between some sunshine.
We seem to be coming to that time of year when the spring migration is
all but over and birding news is scant. However, I popped out and checked the
hides at Gruinart this afternoon and found 4 Black-tailed Godwits still hanging
on with us, as were two pairs of Wigeon. A sub-adult White-tailed Eagle put on
a good show, putting all the birds into the air in a panic, making failed
attempts to catch a Teal or two and eventually being seen off by irate
Black-headed Gulls and Lapwings.
Ed Burrell messaged that the Iceland Gull is still present down at
Cornabus – a late date for an Arctic species, but as Ed commented “why go to Greenland when it is this cold
here?”
