Friday 29th September

 A mostly dry, sunny and moderately mild day.

My sole contribution is to record yet again, the 3 White-tailed Eagles on the flats at the top of Loch Indaal as I went past this morning. Two young birds were out on the saltmarsh, one of them eating an unknown prey item. Further away was an adult bird. A quick stop at Gartnatra produced 12 Brent Geese.

Apart from that, the Chough count goes up by the day, with 30 together seen by Alan Bowie up at Ardnave.  Alan also noted both species of godwit at Traigh Nostaig.

Patrick Barton is visiting us and saw 5 Whooper Swans going past Port Charlotte this afternoon:

However, Bird of the Day goes to David Wood who scored a Kingfisher at Kildalton.
