Friday 8th June

Danny Arnold kindly sent through this image of a Whinchat which he took the other week when he was over on holiday. Danny' other interests include moth trapping, so if you click on the link to the Islay Natural History Trust, you will see some more of Danny's images including some of moths. Thanks Danny. This image by the way, was part of Wednesday's entry for the blog which went "walk about" along with some sightings which I can't remember, must be old age creeping in.... Bob, when he was coming home on the ferry the other night, saw a couple of Porpoises and 3 GND. Mary, today had a Swift at Wester Ellister which is close to Portnahaven. Today, James heard a Red Grouse calling on the reserve at Gruinart and saw a Sparrowhawk also on the reserve. He also had a couple of Collared Doves on the track up to his house this evening.
