Tuesday 13th September

Yesterday was another busy day on the birding front at Loch Gruinart, with James reporting eight curlew sandpipers, two little stints, ten knot, 12 black-tailed godwits and two peregrines, and Mark reporting a flock of 20 snipe. 25 pink-footed geese were also sighted flying over Loch Gruinart from the north-west.

Down at Port Wemyss, Mary spotted a whitethroat and a male hen harrier, as well as two chough on Currie Sands (on Monday).

Over at Ballivicar, Ed saw a marsh harrier, while down at The Oa, David D was watching no fewer than 31 twite on the feeders in the RSPB car park.

But yesterday's most unusual - and most enigmatic - sighting has got to be that of a Sabine's Gull glimpsed from the Kennacraig-Islay ferry by an unnamed source.
