AUTUMN MIGRATION STARTING TO PICK UP

Following on from the long staying Hoopoe at Arnabost on Coll (22nd-30th August), reasonable numbers of Sooty Shearwaters and Pomarine Skuas and some good wader passage including Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint, Whimbrel, Black-tailed Godwit and Knot, the autumn is now beginning to really get going.
Reports from Tiree today included a Nightingale at Vaul and a Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Loch a' Phuill. What next? Many thanks to John Bowler for the Tiree update.
These two islands have a great record in autumn and Coll Of The Wild is now taking bookings for 5-day all-inclusive guided birding holidays in September and October.
