The previous three days of "summer" turned into grey, breezy and drizzly on Sunday, with more rain and breezier from the NW on Monday.
Yesterday Martin A. had a Dipper on the River Sorn and a Little Egret and 2 White-tailed Eagles on Bridgend Merse. Clive Mc. witnessed the unusual sight of a couple of dark-phase Arctic Skuas close by Carnain in Loch Indaal in the evening.
Today Clive weas busy recording near his house at Loch Gruinart with a substantial tally of the first southerly passage of Brent Geese this autumn - 168 passing through and a further 86 staging on the loch in the evening. Along with them were 54 Lesser Black-backed Gulls moving south and 26 Black-tailed Godwits newly arrived with 10 Knot. Over at Cornabus Ed Burrell had 4 Whimbrel on the move.
