Iona
Corncrake 3
Red throated diver 2 sum
Eider inc. female with chicks
Sedge warblers
Gannet 4
Ringed plover 4
Year: 261 (corncrake)
Stunning views of corncrake on Iona today, we could hear it calling and it seemed incredibly close, then suddenly it walked out onto the side of the track in full view no more than about 10 feet in front of us! It continued calling and occasionally stopped to feed, but seemed quite unconcerned by our presence and stayed in view for at least 5 minutes. Be prepared for some frame fillers here when I get back!
