Tuesday 19th & Wednesday 20th September

Yesterday's weather was awful with persistent rain, thus not too surprising that no birds were reported and no blog written.

Today was a little better, but still strong showers at times and a strong wind. James How saw 17 Brent Geese and the first little group of 22 Barnacle Geese this morning at Gruinart, while down at Cornabus, Ed Burrell was watching 2 White-tailed Eagles trying their best to reduce the Greylag Goose population. He also noticed an increase in Snipe numbers.

Jim Dickson wrote in with tales of good seabirds elsewhere on the nearby west coast of Scotland and encourages us to go forth and sea-watch in the next couple of days...........
