Friday 26th May

A lovely day with clear skies, light winds and sunshine - but very little new to tell you: James How found a Little Stint at the North Hide at Gruinart and Steve & Lyn Rogers had 3 dolphins in Kilnaughton Bay.

Meanwhile, Jim Dickson our birding friend and colleague on the Argyll mainland is obviously suffering from a severe lack of rare birds and sent this map of the hoped-for trajectory of Britain's first ever Grey-headed Lapwing. It first appeared in Northumberland, then went north to NE Scotland and has now just turned up on N. Uist - a remarkable journey for a very lost Asiatic wader. Jim is hoping that it will soon be heading our way as it sets off on its way home. So keep a look out, but don't hold your breath..............
