Spent a week at Bernera Farm, Glenelg in Wester Ross, opposite the North East Coast of Skye. The main effort was to photograph Otters, to no avail, but a few birds seen:
Black-throated Diver Cormorant Shag Grey Heron Mute Swan Greylag Goose Shelduck Mallard Common Eider Red-Breasted Merganser, many females with large numbers of young on the sea, very few males White-tailed Eagle, being harried by a GBB Gull, the size difference was astonishing! Golden Eagle Common Buzzard Kestrel Oystercatcher Ringed Plover Common Sandpiper Green Sandpiper Redshank Common Gull Herring Gull Great Black-backed Gull Guillemot Cuckoo GS Woodpecker Skylark Sand Martin Swallow House Martin Rock Pipit Meadow Pipit Pied Wagtail Grey Wagtail Dipper Wren Dunnock Whinchat Robin Wheatear Song Thrush Blackbird Whitethroat Blackcap Chiffchaff Willow Warbler LT Tit Blue Tit Great Tit Hooded Crow Raven House Sparrow Chaffinch Greenfinch Siskin Bullfinch
Plus a pair of Pine Martens in the garden feeding on bird food!
