Ever since I identified the Song Thrush singing in the garden it’s continued to sing every day & night and it’s currently singing now brightening up a damp day in the Hebrides.

@Cavarinho It’s good but unfortunately it wasn’t a Linnet I was hearing they said it was turned out to be a Song Thrush.

Earlier this evening I was hearing an unusual bird call in the garden so I decided to use the Merlin Bird app. According to the app it said the call I was hearing was a Linnet. However I heard it again only this time was identified as a Song Thrush and I have video evidence.

@Annakwood It turned out to be a Song Thrush kept hearing again and this time the app said Song Thrush and singing infront of me was a Song Thrush 🙄

Saw a Sea Eagle today up in North Uist and been hearing an unusual call in the garden, I used my Merlin app and it identified it as a Linnet.

[The Edinburgh Birdwatcher @EdinBirdwatcher]

@Annakwood @scotlandwithme Nope none at all plenty of Lapwings & Oystercatchers .

Earlier was watching a Song Thrush in the garden eating a snail.

@Annakwood @scotlandwithme I’ve not seen any Terns on Uist.

Friendly Chaffinch at the car park and two Herons on my walk at Loch Eynort, heard a Cuckoo in the distance.
