Tuesday 4th October

 Raining and grey until mid-afternoon when it brightened slightly. No observations today apart from a few notes from visitors Scott & Ruby who were watching Loch Indaal from Blackrock where they counted 50 Common Scoter, 20 Red-breasted Mergansers, a few Red-throated Divers and single Razorbill and a late "Commic" Tern.

I took a look at Loch Skerrols again as ducks seem to be on the increase on Islay at the moment, but there was nothing other than a few Mallard and Mute Swans.

Down at Easter Ellister, Mary Redman saw a quite late Wheatear.
