The gale force winds and rain causing flooding in other parts of the UK today didn't reach this far where it was another day of occasional showers and bluster in between sunnier periods.
A late report for yesterday from Linden was of a Little Egret and Greenshank up at Gruinart.
Today's news kicked off with reports from Clive Mc. of a leucistic Ringed Plover at the airport along with a Wheatear and a White-tailed Eagle feeding on a carcase on the nearby beach. Gary T. noted the Little Egret and Osprey at Bridgend. Later in the day Clive was back at Creag Mhor, Gruinart where he counted 170 hirundines (mostly Sand Martins) feeding low over the water and 3 Brent Geese - an early start to our autumn passage of the species, coinciding with the first arrival of the species back in Ireland with 80 in Belfast Lough according to Tom Lowe.
