Visiting birder, Will Scott, has provided us with these records for today, which was breezy with a fair amount of rain. On Loch Indaal, at Gartnatra, he saw some Light-bellied Brent Geese, 60 Bar-tailed Godwit, 120 Knot, and 100 Dunlin, and, off Bowmore, he found 5 Slavonian Grebes, a Great Northern Diver, 20 Common Scoter, and 5 Long-tailed Ducks, and there was also a Greenshank on the shore just east of the harbour. In addition to those, there were two White-tailed Eagles at Ballivicar, while the female Scaup was still present on Loch Skerrols. Thanks, Will.
