Friday 5th April

Not a very pleasant day, with grey skies and rain for a lot of the time with a moderately brisk breeze. This is apparently just the "warm up" for tomorrow and the weekend when Storm Kathleen arrives with gale force winds..........

Gary T. was out watching a Golden Eagle over the slopes at Carrabus and good numbers of Bar-tailed Godwits and Redshank on the mud in Loch Indaal. There was also a Sandwich Tern there with the gulls. 

Jeff Duncan reported a large flock of Golden Plover in fields north of Port Ellen and a male Sparrowhawk hunting at Kilnaughton before heading off on the ferry out of Port Ellen where he saw a few Manxies en route.

Down at Potrnahaven Mary Redman watched a White-tailed Eagle scaring everything up over McKenzie island.
