Bleak times for the blog, with Peter on holiday and Mary with her hand stuck inside a ewe somewhere down in Bandit Country. Anyway, Hot Ed got things started this morning with a gropper at Cornabus, before Steve Rogers saw a yellowhammer at Emerivale. Ddavid Ddinsley picked up the first Islay whinchat record for the year at Glen Astle, and then saw another at Kinnabus. Mandy had a cuckoo calling near Carnduncan and Mary-Ann saw 9 green hairstreaks enjoying the sun at Kildalton.
The pectoral
sandpiper was still at Gruinart first thing this morning.
Whimbrel continue to move through, with groups of 48 and 16 near Saligo. There were 2 sub-ad WTE near Loch Gorm this evening. The cold northerly wind is doing nothing to encourage the corncrakes, and the waders could use a bit of rain.
That's all. Thanks to all the above. Cheerie!
