Monday 28th May

Before I forget, there will not be a meeting of the Bird nerds tomorrow night, some of us are away, others have visitors staying, so next meet will be at the end of June! This morning James had seen that the Mute Swan in front of the hide at Gruinart was out, proudly presenting her 6 cygnets! When he was doing his survey work this morning, he heard a Red Grouse calling up on the moor, a couple of Water Rails calling too on the reserve, 2 Grasshopper Warblers calling away, saw 6 Redpolls and also a Common Hawker dragonfly. The temperature is still warm but slipping down to 23 degrees according to Mike's weather station!
