Another mostly dry and sunny day with a light SW breeze, but again the odd light shower.
The first Corn Crake survey was done last night, but “rain stopped play” at about 1.30am. No definitive reports yet, though apparently 8 between Gruinart and Ardnave is a reasonably good result.
Bob Mitchell sent in his notes for today: “walked to Gortantaoid point over the sand so just a few waders: Dunlin, Sanderling, Ringed Plover, Oystercatchers and Gulls. Rock Pipits at the Point, plus Otter prints from the sea. A Whimbrel near the car park and a male Hen harrier flew over the Gruinart road on the way up. 2 Twite were at Sanaigmore”.
Talking of Hen Harriers, David Livingstone sent in these photos of a male Hen Harrier he saw on the Low Road.
