The American Coot is still on Loch nam Feithean and the Green-winged Teal at Aird an Rùnair (Loch a' Roe). There were plenty of restless geese in the area today although none were actually seen to leave - 55 Greenland White-fronts, 10 unidentified (probably Pink-feet) and probably in excess of 5,000 Barnacles. Also a large flock of at least 3,000 Golden Plover were present. Only two Lapland Buntings were seen today by the cattle pens.
Merlins were seen at four places today between Carinish and Balranald NR - perhaps passage birds?
A local rarity was a Yellowhammer found dead at Paiblesgarry - I don't think there has been a record since one was seen on Barra in October 2014.
