I'm afraid it's slim pickings today, bird fans. Our only reports are Gary's glaucous gull at Uiskentuie, and Double D's blackcap at Ballygrant. Malcolm emailed in to fill the gaping hole in my knowledge of Churn Island - "Eilean a Chuirn, to give it it's proper name, is one of the larger skerries off the south-east coast and is the one with a lighthouse on it." Thanks Malcolm!
At Gruinart, there was no sign of James's green-winged teal or pectoral sandpiper at the North Hide. A drake gadwall was the best I could manage. The corncrake below the Visitor Centre is still present and occasionally calling during the day. That's all. Cheerie!

Half a dozen each of wigeon and shovelers yesterday at the Gruinart hides yesterday (Saturday) and heard a Crex crex crexing from the café at Port Wemyss this lunch time
