Monday 18th July

Well, that's already half the month away, times just flies past you sometimes, other times it just drags. Today has not been that great for birding out here, the sun did peep through for a wee while late afternoon, tomorrow will be better.... George had counted 14 Hares in a couple of fields down beside his house today, Bob had a Peregrine Falcon over the saltings at the top of Loch Indaal close to the entrance to Whinpark, and up here at home there was a family of Pied Wagtails out on the grass. Thinking back to Friday morning, we had 4 young Stoat kits playing on the road just after the sandpit past Rockside road end, it was great to see them as they twisted and tumbled about as they do, no camera to hand either!
