Monday 21st July

Forgot to mention last night that 2 Gannets should have been on the list of birds that Bob and myself had on yesterday's count!!! James is back from his holidays.. Today on Loch Gruinart, he saw an Osprey carrying off a fish heading out towards the hill on the reserve, no doubt to tuck into its' prey. James also saw 3 Spotted Flycatcher and then later on 4 different Barn Owls. Here at home I have been seeig a "friendly" Wheatear, I can be no more than 8 feet away from it and it is quite unfazed by my presence.
