News received today included the Lesser Scaup and a Little Egret.
I had a day out to see a Yellow Warbler at New Hythe in Kent,that was found on Christmas Eve. It had been 20 years since the last one I saw on Barra. We arrived mid morning and had to wait a couple of hours for the bird to show in a group of Alder trees. It showed for about 5 minutes before disappearing again. It then showed very well around 2.15pm. A difficult bird to digiscope, though I did manage some record shots. This becomes the 11th record for Britain and only the 2nd mainland record. There was also a Firecrest and several Chiffchaff in the area.
