The football pitch RBF showed better today!
A nice rush of migrants onto the island also today, the highlight of which was @ianricketts.bsky.social Red-backed Shrike at Nasg this evening!

My 3rd wk on Barra,its been a slog!
The last couple of days have seen some migs, pick of which were 2 RBF today (football pitch & Gleann), with
a flash of white outer tail feathers as i drove past some bushes turning out to be a lesser whitethroat!

A quiet time on Barra so far, today at least some thrush movement, but it was more an eagle & diver day, with 42 black-throated diver, 4 golden & 2 white-tailed eagle.

First full day on Barra, on what is our 24th year, provided a Barra tick in the shape of 2 Black Tern!
This takes me to 226 for the Isle.
Pretty quiet elsewhere though.
