An other of Jims photos from the weekend, this time of a white-tailed eagle off to devour its hard earned dinner - a brown hare.
Today's highlight was a handsome male garganey seen from the south Hide at RSPB Loch Gruinart.
Scott and the rest of the RAF Ornithological society have been enjoyed carrying out WeBS counts over the past 2 days. Yesterday they surveyed Loch Indaal with good numbers of the 'usual suspects'. At Ardnave their survey included 120+ whimbrel with a single black tailed godwit among them, while at Loch Gorm they noted barnacle geese, and at nearby Saligo 7 golden plover with around 20 ringed plover.
They continued today with WTE at Bunnahabhainn, Gruinart and near Keills. Golden eagle near Bunnabhainn. A little egret from the north hide at Loch Gruinart.
Chough sightings from yesterday were around 30 at Kilchoman Church, and further 7 at Balinaby today. I had feeding pair at Currie Sands today too.
Thanks as ever for taking time to share your sightings.
Mary
