Thursday 13th July

 Warm, dry and sunny all day.

Gary Turnbull had a veritable raptor-fest at Finlaggan this morning with 2 White-tailed Eagles, 3 Hen Harriers, 5 Buzzards and two Ospreys (the latter fishing).

Other news comes from Hannah Stanger who saw a couple of Puffins off Beinn Mhor and Mary-Ann Featherstone who found a Little Egret at Cnoc Bay and a female Hen Harrier up near Ardtalla.

Up at Gartmain near high tide was a group of 38 Bar-tailed Godwits - all in grey, non-breeding plumage, presumably early return birds from their northern breeding grounds.
