5th November

The highlights of a fine, calm and sunny day were a juvenile Pomarine Skua flying over the island, 2 Little Auks and 3 Common Scoters offshore, and a mass arrival of 43 Tufted Ducks on Bridesness Loch. An arrival of Whooper Swans in the late afternoon comprised 13 birds on Gretchen and Garso Lochs. The Desert Wheatear remained on the west coast in the morning.
