Barra
What appears to be a new Tennessee Warbler was at Creachan this afternoon, feeding low down in twigs around the base of an Ash tree at the bottom of the steps that lead into the woodland. It was raining at the time, views were brief, the light was poor and the bird got grief from a Robin when it started calling, so my photo isn't great, but this individual shows a darker eye line than the Nask bird. At least one Treecreeper was still there too.
