Painted Ladies have been appearing on Barra in the past 3 days, only very low numbers still, the forerunners of a likely invasion that's coming our way this summer. A Hawfinch at Castlebay today was our first this year.

Migrant waders much in evidence on Barra today including our first Icelandic Black-tailed Godwits and Whimbrels of the year, a flock of 78 Redshanks that departed to the north-west and hundreds of Golden Plovers on the machair.

Lovely gentleman- he came to Barra and did a cookery demonstration with Barra produce. It was fantastic. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

@MattWatts96 Lovely guy. He will always be a winner. I hope he raised the profile of @mencap_charity and they benefited.

@the_traitors_ Lovely genuine man. Hope @mencap_charity got a donation boost as a result.

Delighted - had bought these months ago and hidden them for Christmas. Just found them - what a wonderful treat in January.

Lovely Christingle service today at Barra Parish Church - definitely feels more like Christmas today.
