A very bright and breezy day: strong easterly/north-easterly winds, but wonderfully dry and sunny.
Yesterday evening I came across a fine flock of 335 Golden Plovers, most in breeding plumage, on grassy fields at Leorin.
Hannah Stanger reported a Cuckoo at Glen Astle yesterday and another today at Kinnabus.
Today's news come from Annie Rudd @ RSPB who says ""We’ve just completed a survey of the wetland birds of the Loch Gruinart area. Here are some of the birds we saw today:": 103 Ringed Plover, 71 Dunlin, 54 Redshank, 36 Black-tailed Godwits, 126 Teal, 75 Wigeon, 24 Shoveler, 11 Whooper Swans, 9 Mute Swans, 4 Eiders, 6 Grey Herons and 3 Little Grebes.
I took a walk around Ardnave and found a group of 6 Whimbrels, plus a couple of lone birds. Scoping across to Nave Island there was an immature Iceland Gull wandering about with a few Herring and Greater Black-backed Gulls among the 350 Grey Seals on the beach.
