Monday 29th July

More rain fell last night, quite a lot. Through the day , we have had the odd shower, but the mist shrouded the crag until late aftenoon, net result was the the morning and also the midday flight from Glasgow were cancelled. Once the mist lifted the delayed flight from Edinburgh came as did the evening flight from Glasgow...

Just as I was starting my pc up this morning, there was a thud on one of the windows, lo and behold a Sparrowhawk who then went and surveyed all around for the best part of 4 minutes. Mid morning, and a Peregrine flew past. Late morning, I heard some Buzzards calling away, and located them out over the top of the dunes, 3 in total. Late afternoon, after the mist had lifted, Margaret then saw another Peregrine flying past..  The weather looks a lot better now that the mist has disappeared, and looking out of the window, yes, Ireland could be seen...

Remember, tomorrow evening, at 6.30 pm if the weather holds, the Bird nerds will be meeting up at Bun an Uillt to try to see what is out on the estuary at Gruinart. If in doubt give me a phone on 01496 850 303 by 5.30 pm...
