Friday 23rd June

The weather changed overnight with some heavy and steady rain that has continued on-and-off throughout much of today - just what our gardens need!

Tom Evans sent in some notes on Corn Crakes: "2 Corn Crakes calling at same time  just outside Portnahaven Wednesday evening. I hear one most evenings around the coast guard lookout. There is a regular crexing from the binneach between Portnahaven and Port Wemyss as well".

Further news comes from Mary Redman who saw a male Hen Harrier at Black Rock and a couple of Curlews near Port Mor. 

Also a report of a lone Red-throated Diver feeding at Carraig Fhada this evening - perhaps one our the breeding birds?

I was talking to one of the archaeologists from the Reading University group over here at present who tells me that one of the group was bitten by an Adder yesterday.
