A reasonable, mostly sunny day with the odd bit of cloud and drizzle now and then.
Willow Warblers have started to pop up all over the place: Gary T. heard them singing in woods near Finlaggan and David D. had more singing at Upper Cragabus. Linden, a new arrival at RSPB Gruinart had others in the woodland at Gruinart and found the first Swallow of summer there.
Gary T. also commented on calling Snipe on the Mulreesh road, and a couple of Little Egrets at Loch Indaal near Whin Park and David D. had 4 Wheatears, a Peregrine and 4 Otters on The RSPB Oa Reserve.
Jeff Duncan went out and had a further look at the Red-breasted Goose today (photo below), still fairly faithful to the same set of fields on the south side of the road on the RSPB Gruinart Reserve. After scoring that goodie, he was at Loch Indaal near to Bridgend where a couple of White-tailed Eagles hung out and 5 Greenshank were noted. Over at Kintra Angharad Ward saw 5 Chough - they are not so abundant over that side of the island, so an interesting record.
