Another overcast day, but mainly dry with light winds and no rain and less mist.
Some further notes in for Saturday:
From Mike Bell: off Bowmore were 2 Long-tailed Duck and a pair of Scaup. At Kildalton and Aros Bay a large number of Redwings - 435 plus 825 flying SW in 16 flocks, also 37 Fieldfare, 35 Siskin and a Golden Eagle. At Claggain Bay 5 Great Northern Diver and an Otter. Back on the Coullabus road a male Hen Harrier and a young Golden Eagle.
From Louise Muir: 150 Fieldfare through Craighouse on Jura.
Today, the Red-breasted Goose showed well in fields south of the road towards the RSPB Visitor Centre. A walk up to Ardnave Point produced 3 Greenshank, 6 Brent Geese, 160 Shags and a total of 18 Snow Buntings in two groups. We also had 5 Greater Scaup in Loch Indaal from the Gaelic College - the largest count so far this winter.
Clive Mc. had a further 31 Whooper Swans flying up Loch Gruinart. Martin Armstrong saw Peregrine and Merlin over Singing Sands and found a dead Crossbill near Laphroaig.
