Monday 29th April

The weather finally changed, with overcast skies and plenty of rain all day.

The only bird notes come from john Whittle who had an impressive count of 60+ Whimbrel on a field between Port Charlotte and Portnahaven.

Peter Gill & family are regular visitors and emailed with their sightings from their stay last week. They were particularly pleased with the great number and variety of raptors seen. Birding highlights included 4 White-tailed Eagles (all adults) at Loch Skerrols on 24th; 2 Merlins at Gruinart on 17th; 9 Long-tailed Ducks off Kintra including 3 gorgeous drakes, on 21st; Great Spotted Woodpeckers at Kildalton on 17th and Port Askaig on 23rd.
