No birds to report today, but some notes from George Jackson for yesterday:
"Quick look at Loch Skerrols this morning: about 20 hirundines feeding way out over the water included at least 1 House Martin. A pair of Mute Swans had 6 smallish cygnets. In the woods by the track going back to the car there was a family of 4 Spotted Flycatchers"
" Last three days we’ve had about 30 Swallows round the house each evening (pre-roost) with up to 10 going into the shed where a pair nested"
George also noted Graylags grouping up in small groups on various places: 10 out on Loch Indaal, 57 on Loch Gorm, 30+ towards Coull and c.30 on the shore just north of Bruichladdich. He wondered if these are likely to be moulting birds gathering?
