News from Tony Marr:-
Rain before dawn brought an interesting arrival including some very confused Pinkfeet, the first good numbers of Arctic Terns and a solitary Snow Bunting.
Pink-footed Geese – 32 around Loch Stiapavat all day were new; a flock of 120 over the cliffs near the lighthouse at the Butt (1045) changed their minds about heading out to sea and flew back south
Shoveler – a drake on Loch Stiapavat was a new arrival
Whooper Swan – one on Loch Stiapavat
Glaucous Gull – what looked like Monday’s juvenile was on Loch Stiapavat (pm)
Arctic Tern – numbers at Port of Ness steadily built up through the day to 40 this evening
Snow Bunting – a female near the lighthouse at the Butt (am)
