As promised by the forecasts, the rain had stopped and it was a tolerably pleasant, partially sunny day with light winds.
Chris Fletcher had seen 3 Arctic Terns off Bowmore yesterday
evening in the rain.
Reports came in of Whimbrel “hither and thither” - 2 at
Craighouse, Jura yesterday from Louise Muir and 7 more yesterday at Ardnave.
Today there were 14 at Ardbeg courtesy of Mary Ann Featherstone.
Margaret Brooke reported the usual fly-by of a male Hen
Harrier up at Kilchoman and a couple of notes from Michal Sur and Laura Nicoll came in saying
that 2 Corncrakes were “crexing” around Kilchoman and Machir Bay.
The late afternoon and evening was quite calm allowing a
brief check with a scope over Loch Indaal northwards from Bruichladdich where
there were an impressive 32 Great Northern Divers scattered across the water,
most in superb summer dress.
