Finally this afternoon we caught up with a yellow-browed warbler at Brevig
(photo © Bruce Taylor). It was very skulking
and didn't call at all but nice to get it under our belts. I always struggle
with yellow-browed warblers.
Perhaps bird of the day for me though was this stonking pale-bellied brent
goose on Traigh Mhor, my first of the autumn. Apparently there is a wintering
flock of about 90 birds here, so hopefully more will follow in the coming
days.
Highlight of the day though was a pod of five bottlenose dolphins in the Sound
of Barra which we watched from the jetty at Eoligarry. They put on a great display, breaching and spyhopping for around 20 minutes or more.
There's a yellow-browed warbler in there somewhere. Willow scrub at Brevig.
Earlier we'd been to Vatersay and had a decent mornings birding and had a nice
view of an otter.
