Tuesday 3rd May

A cloudy, dull day, but dry until late afternoon when a few spots of rain ensued,

I wrongly attributed the sighting of a Ring Ousel and Great Skuas yesterday – the acknowledgement should go to visitor Peter Gill, who sent in further notes today: “Today we heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker near to Loch Allan, also there were two Little Grebe on Loch Ballygrant + a Chiffchaff seen/heard in Ballygrant woods. Also 2 Little Grebes busy building a nest towards north end of Loch Finlaggan. Also a Golden Eagle seen over road to Bunnahabhain

James How sent in the following notes:

At Ballinaby: Whitethroat singing and a report of 2 calling Corncrakes.

 On Loch Gruinart: a total of 58 Whimbrel. Dunlin and Ringed Plover starting to move:

Dunlin 230, Ringed Plover 85, Sanderling 1, Turnstone 2.
