Friday 10th February

Hello bird fans. Another busy day of sightings from our visitors. Waltraud had a golden eagle, 7 chough and 8 twite at Machir Bay. Janet bade farewell to Islay with a WTE at Port Ellen as she was waiting for the ferry. Tom Lowe was busiest though, with the glaucous gull still at Uiskentuie and 2 small Canadas at Ronnachmore. At Gruinart, he had red-breasted and cackling goose, marsh harrier and a pair of gadwall, and gets BOTD for this effort, a Siberian race white-front at Corsapol. Well done Tom, a great spot. I think one was reported last winter by Dan Brown, I wonder if it is the same bird?


Thanks to all the above for their sightings.
