I appreciate that these regular Bird Notes which have appeared in The Banner for more than 10 years rely on information being shared with me by a large number of people from the casual observer to the serious obsessive. All records from the familiar robin to the rare red-necked phalarope are equally welcome.
A rare bird on Arran, the red-necked phalarope.

I am heartened by the fact that that message seems to have been taken up by residents and visitors to Arran alike. For the January notes I was astonished to receive over 1,700 records. To put that in context that is more than double what I received in January last year and in 2006, the year I started as bird recorder for the Arran Natural History Society, the total number of records that I got for the whole year was just over 2,000. That total has increased each year and for the 2016 annual report, which should be in shops around the island before Easter, I received over 12,000 records. I would like to publicly thank everyone who has helped to build up the bird records for Arran.
