Groundhog day


Another tough day doing the rounds on Barra, no new arrivals so far following yesterdays storm and the rest of the Outer Hebrides are also quiet at the moment. Migration seems almost non-existent, but at least there are the resident birds to keep us entertained.  

Another walk around the north end of the island produced some good views of male hen harrier, adult peregrine and a merlin, but the only new bird was from an unexpected direction, with a calling yellow-browed warbler new at Brevig, which refused to show itself to us. Yellow-browed warbler from the east, new in on the day following severe gales from the west???
