Tuesday 3rd July

Donald James MacPhee, or DJ as many of us call him, had seen an Osprey take a fish out of the Lily Loch over behind Port Askaig, last Wednesday. Adam the "vol" from Gruinart had been out with Bob on Sunday.  They had a young Cuckoo over at Ardtalla, a Kestrel up at Loch Cam, and on the Rhinns they saw Hen Harriers and Short eared Owls. Adam is away home now to his day job, back in London after spending the last fortnight or so as a "vol" with RSPB here on Islay.
