COLL Good numbers of GREAT SHEARWATERS & SOOTY SHEARWATERS remain, also 3 Manx in the sea area around Hawes Bank with 815 & 263 respectively (Sea Life Mull team, Stuart Gibson et al). This will be the last SLM trip of the season as weather becomes unsuitable for further excursions.
MID-ARGYLL: A GREAT WHITE EGRET was seen & photographed on the mud out from the front green at the head of Loch Gilp (Leonie Sweeney).
