There is an old Mull record
from way back in Jan-Mar 1982 at Dervaig reed bed. This is the largest
reed bed on Mull and it is very under watched. I believe there is a lot
more to find here.
In 2009 8th Dec. a bird was
recorded & photographed south of Oban. The last confirmed record in
Argyll was a dead bird near Appin in 1999 |
