Saturday 1st July

Changeable weather today - breezy and quite cool with sunny periods mixed with showers.

The only bird news today comes from Gary Turnbull who reports an Osprey up at Finlaggan - there were two days in June with sightings of Osprey - I wonder if it is one bird here throughout, or individuals passing through?

Kath Butterworth saw a family of Stoats up at Craigens on Thursday evening. Having just been told today that a group of Flamingos is called a "flamboyance", I checked on what a group of Stoats is called. Apparently, apart from the rather pedestrian "gang" or "pack" they are also known as a "caravan": not a lot of people know that.......................
