Hot, dry, sunny, light breeze - perfect!
Some additional records for yesterday from Martin Harris who had a Red-throated diver off Port Mhor in the early evening then found a drake Garganey at RSPB Gruinart from the South Hide later in the evening along with 20+ Black-tailed Godwits.
Today, Martin noted an adult White-tailed Eagle and 9 Black Guillemots at Port Askaig. Clive McK. had his first Spotted Flycatcher for his garden this year up at Creag Mhor and newly arrived visitor Hedley Wright was pleased to find 13 Choughs at Machir Bay.
I checked out the lochs at Ballygrant, nan Cadhan and Skerrols today but found all very quiet indeed, though all held nesting Mute Swans - a pair on a nest at Skerrols, a brood of 9 cygnets on nan Cadhan and 5 cygnets at Ballygrant, where Goldcrest was singing in the woodland.
Over on Jura, Louise Muir saw a Woodcock at Craighouse.
