Monday 28th July

A new garden bird here today, a Robin was out in the garden, while I was at the sink in the kitchen, I saw a distant Golden Eagle, it flew in from the dunes behind Machir bay, pity I do not think I can call it an "actual" garden bird... If you are over on Islay at present, tomorrow night is the monthly meeting of the Islay bird nerds, so we are meeting up at the Gaelic college just outside Bowmore at 7.30pm for a look around to see what is out on Loch Indaal, so if you are around, see you there.
