Thursday 8th January

On Tuesday, close too the Visitor centre at Gruinart, Mary saw a female Bullfinch. While out on the moorland, she managed to flush a Hare, 5 Snipe as well as a Merlin. She also had a distant ringtail. On her way home last night, Mary saw another ringtail down at Uiskentuie. As I write this evening, as forecasted, the wind is starting to pick, wonder what the largest gust will be in the next 24 hours? The ferry is already cancelled for tomorrow morning. It was windy here today and Martin headed out on the ferry and said it turned out to be quite a calm crossing!
