Saturday 30th August

Yeserday, Peter and Pia had braved the elements and had been over on the Big strand below the airport and had walked down towards Knockangle Point where their birds tallied through at 10 Knot, 12 Sanderling, 10 Ringed Plover, 6 Redshank, 5 Dunlin and a Little Stint. Today the weather has been a lot kinder to us with Mandy from RSPB being over at Claggain Bay where she watched a Red throated Diver for some time, coming back along past Kintour, Mandy saw a Yelowhammer. Thanks to James, for writing the blog over the past few days while I was off Islay down in Glasgow, my highlight was watching an Osprey catch a fish as we headed into West Loch Tarbert on the ferry, no need for bins for that one!
