Fri 21st March

As I write this entry, late on in the evening, the lapwings were calling out in the field when I shut the dogs into their shed for the night. The wind last night veered round to the North, as forecast, bringing with it quite a wind chill factor. The Fulmars have returned out to the sea again. Just think, next weekend the clocks change and "summer time" is here, mind you the days are certainly stretching out all the time. IKB
Over at RSPB Loch Gruinart reserve, James had a pair of Gadwall on the floods, as well as a Little Grebe. He also saw a Peregrine being mobbed by a Buzzard as it sat on a fence post. On his way home at lunchtime, James witnessed a Merlin swooping in amongst some Skylarks but to no avail. JRH
