Wednesday 30th November

Sadly Peter doesn't love the birds enough to blog for more than 3 days in a row, so here we go with a late one. 

Double D gets BOTD with a snow bunting on Port Ellen beach. Mary had her first look at lapwings at Claddach this winter, with 45 there. Margaret had 2 golden eagles at Kilchoman. 

At Gruinart, noticeably more whooper swans the past couple of days, with a peak count of 53 at the South Hide. A WTE also present. Small numbers of dead and/or dying barnacle geese continue to be found around the reserve each day.

Thanks to all the above.
