Another week has blown past. Here's what birdies got spotted today.
It's still fairly quiet for corncrake sightings around the island, though Margaret's is still going at Kilchoman and the Gruinart one is still calling intermittently. Please let us or RSPB know of any you come across.
Steve Rogers had a pair of common sands at Kilnaughton, and Mary-Ann had a ringed plover at the head of Loch Indaal. David Dinsley saw a female cuckoo getting appropriately harassed by mipits at Kinnabus and a male harrier around the Upper Killeyan car park. Mandy had a singing whitethroat at Carnduncan. There were 14 whimbrel on Gruinart floods tonight.
Jim Dickson reports news of a honey buzzard on Coll yesterday, so people not wishing to watch an old man put on a hat tomorrow have the perfect alternative. Nowt else to say, other than here's a whinchat at The Oa, from Double D. Thanks to him and all the other contributors today. Cheerie!
