Fri 23rd - Sat 24th May

A quiet couple of days on the bird front, but busy work wise. The main talking point was the sighting of a Magpie, it was seen on Thursday evening at the waterworks behind Port Charlotte, and then further up the road at Gearach on Friday itself. There was no sign of it there this evening, but one was seen in a garden in Bunnahabhain! Is this the same bird that was seen over in Port Ellen on the 18th of April, then later on in Bowmore, remember too that Louise saw one on Scarba off Jura on the 8th of May, or is there a possibility of 2 different birds around? MAO
