Description
On the island of Tiree 133 bird species have been seen. The freshwater Loch a'Phuill attracts waders such as Μαυρότρυγγας, Βουνοσφυριχτής, Πρασινοσκέλης and Ακτίτης. In the dunes there may be Lapland Bunting, Χιονοτσίχλονο, Ορτυκομάνα, Βαλτόμπουφος or Θαμνοτριλιστής. The cliffs at Ceann a Mhara are a useful seawatch point in autumn and have breeding Common Guillemot, Razorbill, Northern Fulmar, Τριδάκτυλος Γλάρος, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσοκόρακας and perhaps Πετρίτης or Κοκκινοκαλιακούδα.
