Friday 7th October

The first serious arrival of geese for this winter overnight at Loch Gruinart. James had 1980 barnies this morning, with 3 large Canadas, maybe all Todd's? By the afternoon the barnie count was up to 6280 and rising, with 19 white fronts new in, and 29 pb brents on the merse. Also at Gruinart, Laura had 2 WTE and the (presumably long-staying) marsh harrier. 

Elsewhere, the whooper movement continued, Double D seeing 14 at Lower Killeyan and Hot Ed winning with 26. Ed also had 35 pink feet at Ballivicar. 

Visitor Martin Newell gets Bird of The Day with a med gull at Blackrock. 

Thanks to all.
