Tuesday 13th December





If you wonder why the blog entry is light with bird entries tonight, this is the reason, the strong winds... This was taken down at Port Charlotte mid morning, and that was before the winds really picked up. Last week Port Charlotte was relatively calm but the wind direction was round a few points. We had a gust at 2pm of 70 mph on Mike's "Kilchoman weather" link. The only birds we saw on our way down to Port Charlotte, were a few Fieldfares at McNichol's croft at Foreland. On a positive note, at least we have had no snow with the wind...

Crikey Ian! Here's hoping this depression continues to track further south than originally predicted and we can make is across on Thursday. Looking forward to some great birding in Islay. Let's be lucky! Br, Mike
