Back in to remake eggs when a call of 9 Glossy Ibis flying towards the house. Another run outside and saw them flying towards the north end of the island. A bit later all 9 were at Eoligarry. Tomorrow itโ€™s toast 2/2

A dozen Long-tailed Tit busily going about their business around the pitch this morning and a Little Gull at Eoligarry late morning. Elsewhere, the Bolnabodach Christmas lights have been switched on.

A Whinchat this afternoon at Eoligarry was going to be my bird of the day but was trumped by two Waxwing at Creachan late afternoon. Aldo at least 4 Glossy Ibis still

A slightly bedraggled Waxwing at the pitch this morning. Probably a 2nd bird around Horve. Later in the driving rain which had flooded the fields at Eoligarry a Green-winged Teal. Presumably one of the October birds. Late this afternoon a Velvet Scoter off Vatersay west beach

Phonescoped distant Little Gull at Eoligarry on a blustery Saturday. A Jackdaw in a good productive field for crows this year ๐Ÿ˜‚

Lovely start to the New Year with sunshine and light winds. A walk up the beach at Eoligarry produced 8 Snow Buntings: they've been scarce here this winter. Went to look for the Rook nearby and was surprised to find 4 of them plus a Carrion Crow, both less than annual on Barra.
