Tuesday 9th May

Absolutely NOTHING in the email inbox or whatsapp group today. Sigh. But corncrakes are calling at Ballinaby, Saligo, Kilchoman and between the hides at Gruinart. There's plenty of whimbrel around, with the group of 50 or so still in the reseed at Ballinaby.  A full adult WTE passed over the Gruinart Flats around lunchtime, tangling with a couple of resident buzzards as it went. Near Saligo there were 66 dunlin, 54 ringed plover and 9 turnstone. 

Down at The Oa, Annie had 2 WTEs, 2 curlew, golden eagle, fulmar, wheatear, linnet, gannet and twite. And that's about as hard as I can flog this dead horse. Bye!
