In the windy and wet conditions another look through the 1,200+ Arctic Terns still around Bewan Loch revealed not one but two adult
Roseate Terns roosting on the rocks along with 70+ Kittiwakes; the north end also provided the rest of the day's bird news with a Black-tailed Godwit, three Whimbrel and a big influx of 97+ Dunlin seen around the loch. Meanwhile, offshore a Manx Shearwater and three Storm Petrels passed through while at least 11 Arctic Skuas and 9 Bonxies harassed the feeding Terns, Auks and Gannets.
