Mon 10th March

The Lesser Canada Goose, hutchinsii sp, was observed in a flock of Barnacle Geese at Sunderland Farm this morning. JSA
Down at Bruichladdich, also this morning there was a group of 9 Whooper Swan seen flying North, up Loch Indaal and a further 2 were seen this afternoon at Loch Gorm. There are a few reports of small numbers starting to move through. GJ & MAB
The figures are through for the International Count on 12th and 13th of February, which gave us a total of 45,236 Barnacle Geese and 6,416 Greenland Whitefronts. Once again, many thanks to Margaret and Tracey and their team for their input.
There was another sighting of a single Lesser Black-backed Gull over at Gruinart today. MS
