Saturday 17th September

Dave Wood had 10 brent geese on Loch Indaal at Bowmore, the first I've heard of on Islay this autumn. Certainly it was a quieter day for pink-feet, the constant skeins of the past few days were absent at Gruinart, anyway. There were 6 knot on the loch itself. 

Mary-Ann had 15+ long-tailed tits at Kildalton, and Glen Morrison reported a male hen harrier near Kintra. 

Thanks to all for your sightings
