Tuesday 17th May

It's like a back end day over here today, rather miserable in a nutshell, the post was early, by our standards that is.... so we will have to turn the clock back 24 hours for the blog...Forgot to mention that we saw a Cuckoo on the way over to Port Askaig, close to the Caol Ila road end! Jon and Angie Shutes from Norwich had seen a Short eared Owl, a male Hen Harrier and also an adder close to where they are staying here on Islay, up the back of Port Charlotte. On Sunday they had seen a pair of Yellowhammers when they were over at Ardbeg.
