Sunday 6th July

It started off with a rather miserable sort of a morning with mist swirling around, and back to some more of it again this evening, in between the odd shower of rain, just great it must be the school holidays again!!! Yesterday Mary saw a Moorhen on Claddach Loch down at Portnahaven, her first there! In the evening, Becky a "vol" with RSPB over from Loch Lommond had great sightings of a Short eared Owl up at Ardnave. Today on the reserve at Gruinart, 5 Hen Harriers were seen (2 males and 3 females). Mary reckons that the pair of Great Skuas on Nave Island have hatched their clutch of eggs. Back close to her home this evening, Mary had a Peregrine. Here at home at Kilchoman, there was a Peregrine sat on top of the crag for some time watching all around. Later on a Buzzard and a Raven were having a difference of opinion as whose piece of ground was whose, nothing really new...
