A few showers again today, but otherwise quite sunny and warm. Perhaps the nicer weather has encouraged a bit more outdoor activity:
Alistair starts us off with a pale-phase Arctic Skua near Frenchman's Rocks and 4 Ravens near Currie Sands and finding a Golden Plover nearby later. In the same neck of the woods, Mary Redman found a nice summer-plumaged Black-tailed Godwit at Claddach.
On the other side of the island David Dinsley scored with another Swift coming in off the sea at The Oa, and Ed Burrell watched a young Cuckoo being fed by their favourite host - a Meadow Pipit - at Cragabus. A somewhat less welcome sight was a count of c.30 Canada Geese flying in to Cornabus from Kintra.
Out at Machir Bay I saw five early returning Sanderling on the tideline, 2-3 of them still in decent summery plumage.
