Fri 15th May

Forgot to say that the image of the Corncrake yesterday looked as if it was a bit squint, well actually the poor bird was leaning into the wind! The weather has turned colder here today, and as I write it is raining outside, the first rain of the week, not like last week!
Not much of a day for birding really, but James had 2 Garganey on the floods at Gruinart today, and speaking to some of the RAFOS group, and they had a Dipper on the Sorn. Earlier on in the week, some of the group had been out in the hills one morning with Donald James MacPhee and were fortunate to see a Ring Ouzel, a good sighting for Islay.
