Winds still very blustery and gone more to the west again as the low pressure systems pile through. Mostly grey and rainy, but a period of bright sunny weather with isolated heavy downpours in the middle of the day.
Mike Bell, arrived recently and mentioned the following birds of note today: 116 Whoopers around Kilchoman, 101 Pintail, 41 Shoveler, c.1,500 Teal and a single Gadwall on the floods at RSPB Gruinart.
Steve Percival found the Red-breasted Goose at Gruinart and I noted the SDnow Goose still in the same fields at Leorin during the morning. Further Whoopers were 36 at the top of Loch Indaal and 10 at Loch Kinnabus (3 young) c/o David D. Mary R. had a male Hen Harrier at Tormisdale and 3 Choughs at Claddach.
Below are some further great photos from Neil McMahon's recent Naturetrek tour here.
