Friday 8th September

Yet another superbly bright, hot and sunny day thanks to global warning.

Jim Dickson was up and about before 9am finding 8 Slavonian Grebes at Gortan. I got there an hour or so later but they had vanished by then, leaving 10 Common Scoter as the second prize. A little later, Jim found the first Brent Geese of the autumn - a couple at Carnain. Later in the day he noted a Grey Wagtail down at Wester Ellister.

After not seeing Slav. Grebes I continued on to the the Killinallan side of Loch Gruinart with former resident birder Lesley Silcock who was visiting. Not much out of the ordinary to report there, but a young White-tailed Eagle, Peregrine and Hen Harrier made her day.
