So the main news is there is no more news of the junco. Despite the best efforts of several folk, it has not been seen at all today. Peter and his group stopped by a couple of times as they covered South Islay. They did get a pair of whinchat at Kinnabus, "a few" twite at Upper Killeyan, 2 common sandpipers at Uiskentuie, and a pair of WTE.
Jim made it over in search of the junco but had to be happy with winning Bird Of The Day for 2 dark-bellied brents with one pale-belly at Carnain, plus a lone blackwit. Later in the day he had this young goldie at Gruinart...
Visitor Nick is over for a week and emailed us his sightings from his walk around the Battery at Bowmore, including whimbrel, whitethroat, ringed plover, turnstone, shelduck and wheatear.
We finish with worrying news from bandit country, aka Portnahaven, where Mary has apparently lost her mind, as she claims the below photo "clearly" shows the bonxie she saw at Claddach Loch earlier. If anyone has seen Mary's mind, or indeed her bonxie, please let us know.
Thanks to all for reading and sending stuff in. Tioraidh!
