No great change in the weather: rain, wind and cloud all day, but the ferries still operated - bravo!
Our intrepid visitor Phil sends in the following:
Despite venturing out in horizontal rain today, there is little to report. A flock of c. 30 Common Scoter were far out on Loch Indaal from Bruichladdich where a Red-breasted Merganser was having a bad hair day in the wind closer inshore. Forty-five minutes peering through the rain from the South Hide at RSPB Gruinart produced 19 Whooper Swans (many immature), some 500+ Lapwing; 20+ Golden Plover; 20+ Redshank; 50+ Pintail; uncounted Wigeon and Teal; and a single Little Egret.
I wonder if tomorrow might be better.
Happy Christmas,
