Wednesday 6th September

Another hot and sunny day, but a bit more of an easterly breeze kept it a little cooler - unlike other parts of the UK that were predicted to have the hottest day of the year today.

Jim Dickson was at Gruinart early, finding a summery-looking Grey Plover along with 3 Golden Plover, and big numbers of Bar-tailed Godwits.

Mary-Ann Featherstone reports Tawny Owls calling at Kildalton over the past few nights, which prompted Steve & Lyn Rogers to add that they have been hearing female Tawny Owls at Emerivale/Kilnaughton this week, but no males.

James How took a look over his home patch at Gruinart this evening finding a few goodies: Osprey, Peregrine, 7+ White Wagtails and the first Little Stint of the autumn.

This evening there was a gathering of assorted gulls feeding on shoals of tiny surfacing fish close in at Bruichladdich.
