Another glorious day on Barra, light south easterly winds and unbroken
sunshine with bright blue skies. Too good in fact, we need a storm to bring
some birds to the island.
We spent the afternoon on Vatersay where the birding highlights were a 1st
winter golden eagle and a flock of 35+ black-throated divers. Also hen
harrier with another two at Eoligarry, plus red-throated divers and black
guillemots
It's difficult to be too fed up with the lack of rare vagrants when the
weather and scenery is like this. Still, a good storm would be nice to shake
things up a bit!
Ringtail hen harrier.
Cleat.
This morning a ringtail hen harrier flew alongside our car at Ardmhor,
eventually going right past our cottage.
Taken through the car windscreen!
