A fine, sunny, dry, calm and clear day. Gary Turnbull found a/the Brambling with Chaffinches and Reed Buntings up near Mulreesh where the cattle are being fed. He also noted the regular couple of White-tailed Eagles sat out at Bridgend flats.
Ed Burrell re-sighted the American Wigeon at Cornabus, while David Dinsley was up at the RSPB Visitor Centre at Gruinart and had brief looks at a Waxwing.
With the sea on Loch Indaal being like a millpond and the sun shining, I did a count of some of the birds out there from Blackrock down towards Nerabus in the early afternoon. Results were: Great Northern Diver - 30, Red-throated Diver - 48, Black-throated Diver - 1, Black Guillemot - 8, Slavonian Grebe - 26, Eider - 191, Red-breasted Merganser - 41, Common Scoter - 205, Goldeneye - 6 and Long-tailed Duck 34.
