This was the best day of the Easter holiday - sunny and mostly dry, although still with a cold wind from the north. We saw our first summer blackcap singing in Inverewe gardens - and two sand martins. There were two greenshanks on the beach at Gruinard; while one of these mergansers seemed to be displaying in flight.


At home, two redpolls were on and under the feeders in the garden.


There were also about twenty chaffinches, a robin, several goldfinches, and a dunnock - but no sign of the brambling.
