Wed 8th December

I will keep it brief tonite as this is my third attempt to put on a posting, but my Avanti satellite broadband must have a small cloud blocking it or something.

I thought I had done well with one red kite yesterday, but I received an email from Mike informing me that there had been 2 on Oronsay and 2 on Colonsay yesterday. One had wing tags, blue tag left and red tag right, apparently a bird tagged in Perthshire.

Other records today include a merlin at Gruinart, a peregrine and 3 fieldfares at Kilchoman and Louise reported 3 jack snipe, 2 around Loch Gorm and 1 at Gruinart.
