Thursday 13th October

A better day out here today, no rain that I can remember at least... 4 Snow Bunting were seen up at Ardnave, a flock of 250 Golden plover were seen over at Ballinaby along with 25 Twite . The Whoopers were concentrated into 2 groups, one a Rockside this morning had 108 swans while the Sunderland party tallied through 196, wonder how longer they will stay here, I thought that today that they might have moved on with conditions being better! Carl spent a few minutes doing a "birdwatch" from home and saw the following 6 House Sparrows, 2 Chaffinches, 1 Great Tit, 1 Robin, 4 Herring gulls (including 1 immature), 2 imm. Common gulls, 1 Shag, 1 imm. Cormorant, 1 Buzzard, 2 Pied wagtails and a Collared Dove.
