Friday 28th August

Although it managed to stay dry to around mid afternoon, after that there have been quite a few dirty showers kicking around, looking out to the sea, and the sky is rather ominous, say no more... On the bird front, I have not heard as to whether the Rose coloured Starling is still around or not. We have looked at several groups of Starlings since we came home, but no joy. This afternoon, over at Coull there were quite a few Greylags present, and round at Ballinaby, there was a light coloured Buzzard tucking into what was left of a Rock Dove. On the grass outside the big window there were a few Pied Wagtails present earlier this morning.
