Yesterday's lone Barnacle Goose was indeed a harbinger of winter as a further 18 were seen in Loch Gruinart at lunchtime by James How. Other indicators of summer being over were a couple of Scaup at Uiskentuie this afternoon and 6 Whooper Swans noted by James (along with a dark phase Arctic Skua) at Loch Gruinart later, capped off by 250 Pink-footed Geese seen flying over by Ed Burrell this evening.
With continuing quite blustery, showery weather with winds from the north and west forecast for the next few days we may see more northerly migrants coming our way with a good tail wind?
