Monday 6th June

Dry again today, but cooler with more cloud.

There was a belated report of an immature/male Marsh Harrier over the reed-bed at Machir Bay on Saturday seen by a visiting birder.

James how reported the Great Egret  on the Flats at Gruinart this morning. I popped in to the North hide at Gruinart this afternoon seeing the same male Ruff that has been present for a couple of days now. Also present was a drake Gadwall, 3 Black-tailed Godwits, and the usual lame Barnacle Goose accompanied by the drake Wigeon. Plenty of young birds about too - chicks of Oystercatcher, Redshank, Lapwing, Teal,  Mallard, Mute Swan and Black-headed Gull.

Down on The Oa, David Dinsley spotted two Spotted Flycatchers at Kinnabus.
