The goose count continues to rise. 9300 barnies, 21 white-fronts, 38 pb brents and a pink foot were with 16 whoopers and 14 blackwits at Gruinart this morning, all seen by James. Later, James had 580 golden plover, 8 whoopers and 2 WTE plus a peregrine.
Martin Newell continues to turn up some nice things,with a small race Canada goose amongst c1600 barnies at Bridgend, plus a juv arctic tern off Bruichladdich.
Elsewhere, Lucy had 23 chough at Ardnave, David Dinsley had a good-for-the-oa count of 4 barnies at Kinnabus. As I write this, the now usual scene of bedlam at Gruinart as 2 WTE scare the bejesus out of thousands of geese around the Flats. Winter has arrived.
