Saturday 16th July

The day turned out better than expected after a damp start, and through the night we had 0.5" of rain, it will have done some good, as it was a steady rain rather than a downpour. Bob and Martin had been up at Ardnave yesterday afternoon and saw the Rose coloured Starling, and while they were there, a Golden Eagle was seen low over the moor and nearer to hand was a scruffy looking female Hen Harrier. Today at home, Bob saw a Swallow picking up some dead grass and wonders if it was using it for nest material.
