Saturday 30th November

A drier day but still with a strongish south to southeast wind and quite mild. Gary had sightings of two Peregrines, one patrolling the fields at Gruinart and then, an hour later, one pursuing waders at the head of Loch Indaal. He also saw both Grey and Pied Wagtails at the Bruichladdich burn. Hannah Greetham saw a Slavonian Grebe and a Crossbill at Bunnahbainn, presumably in rather different habitats, and also reported seeing 3 Pink-footed Geese yesterday at Kilchoman. Finally, Mandy H. had a very vocal pair of Choughs which flew in from the west to land on a knoll just below Carnduncan.
