Gannets are very common in Glendale and they can be seen daily, diving close to the shore and Pier in Loch Pooltiel, between April and October.
It is a spectacular sight to watch them plunging head-first into the water from great heights on the long Summer evenings.
Great Skuas, commonly known as 'bonxies', and the daintier Arctic Skuas are now being seen regularly at Neist Point between May and September. Bonxies also regularly come into Loch Pooltiel to harass the gulls.
Manx Shearwaters feed in huge numbers off Neist Point in late Summer.
A 3-hour seawatch at Neist produced two bonxies south and two puffins north. There were around 300 manx shearwaters off-shore. There was a late wheatear on the point and another a Upper Milovaig.
An arctic skua and a whimbrel went south past Neist Point at mid-day (Sean Morris).
A single arctic skua went south at Neist in the morning.
Pretty catastrophic breeding season for fulmars. Most nests now abandoned and can only see c.6 of the remaining occupied nests that have a chick. Auk ledges deserted and only seen one common guillemot chick on the water this season so far.
