Sun 14th Feb

A day of pluses and negatives, this afternoon while I was out up towards the former church at the top of the hill, 20 Chough flew overhead, a great site to see, that was the plus. The negative was in an e mail through from Malcolm that a Gyr Falcon had been found dead on the strand, it was on the lean side and had been dead for a few days. Whether this was the same bird that was down at Portnahaven and the Oa, or was it a completely different bird as there has been speculation of 2 birds being present.
