There were two Iceland Gulls and a single Glaucous Gull at Aird an Runair this morning and no sign of the American Coot on Loch nam Feithean. Ten Pintail here was a high spring count - nine made a couple of flights before heading off elsewhere leaving a lone ♀ that was on the water all the time.
Tony's Ness sightings just in for last few days: 28th - Glaucous Gull at the Butt of Lewis, a Goldcrest in an Europie garden, a Swallow nearby and a ♂ Shoveler stayed for the day on Loch Stiapavat.
29th - Chiffchaff at Port of Ness and nine Redwings in the lighthouse garden.
30th - 300 Golden Plover on the machair by Ness Football Club.
Also contrary to previous report the Iceland Gulls are still present with up to eight on the cliffs overlooking Port of Ness bay each morning and evening.
