Cleat and the approach of Amy


Storm Amy is rapidly approaching us from the west, with predicted severe gales tomorrow afternoon of up to 86mph. Ahead of it comes heavy rain this afternoon and tomorrow so birding over the next 36 hours is likely to be challenging!


Here she comes! The weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon. We're the white dot in the image.


However we managed to get out this morning and spent our time at Northbay and Cleat. No sign of the spotted flycatcher today but we did see a wheatear on the beach, plus hunting hen harrier and merlin.



Later we went for a quick look from Eoligarry jetty and found the juvenile black tern still present and showing well, just 100m offshore.
