Friday 12th May

A quiet day on whatsapp, Double D had a chiffchaff at Ghiol and Kinnabus, and Margaret had a male harrier over at Kilchoman. 

Elsewhere, George Jackson emailed to say he saw 7 knot at Uiskentuie on Thursday night, 1 of them in what Hot Ed would call sum plum. Thanks George. 

An anonymous American visitor at Loch Gruinart reported a green-winged teal on the floods, presumably the same one from a few weeks ago. There's possibly 6 calling male corncrakes at Gruinart now, with another location on the Flats picked up by James this morning. 

Mary-Ann had 21 species in her moth trap last night (about 20 more than we managed!) including this small magpie.


That's all. Peter is back tomorrow, and I think we can all agree that is not a moment too soon. Good night and good luck.
