Monday 30th March

No rain, but westerly winds still strong overnight, gradually dropping a little during the day, which became increasingly cloudy. 

Today's records all come from Mel Chowns who kicked off with 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on Loch Gorm, White-tailed Eagle, Black Guillemot, Common Guillemot and Carrion Crow at Ardnave Point. However, the top sighting was finally finding the wintering Red-breasted Goose after days of searching. Well done for perseverance Mel - and thanks for the photo!
