Sightings have quietened down after the busy weekend. Peter reported the heronry at Loch Tarbet on Jura had at least 6 nests. Louise noted the heronry at the Manse on Jura was active though no nest count yet.
Lauren was at Ardnave today with 2 bonnie, 5 arctic tern, 15 whimbrel, 8 turnstone, 68 dunlin and 2 knot.
My own highlights from today - a solo chough flying and noisily calling overhead in Port Wemyss. In the shed, the wren nest in the coil of rope now has eggs! We will keep a wide berth, luckily we have no need for the rope. Near the old wave power the terns have been noisy, but I tend to keep my distance once they arrive, respecting their space and my head!
Thanks to Peter and Mark for covering the blog this past month. The blog is a group effort but with lambing I haven't been pulling my weight recently! Thanks for all todays sightings.
