The 2w Little Gull was at Eoligarry still, 2 female Common Scoters were off Castlebay and 2 Fieldfares were at Creachan. It's clearly been a day for Long-tailed Tits: 12 were at Castlebay. at least 15 were at Ardmhor plantation and a high-flying singleton was near Loch an Duin, Northbay. Incredible numbers for here!
