Thursday 13th August

Earlier on this week, George had counted 100 Greylags down at Bruichladdich, 60 were out on Loch Indaal and the other 40 in the fields close by. There certainly have been more Greylags seen on the move of late...This evening, apart from the midges being out, there were 2 Buzzards out on the thermals above the wee crag, here at home, and then a Peregrine was calling away out over the big crag. Also here at home, some of the young Swallows are starting to gather on the overhead wires. There were over 150 Jackdaws gathered on the cables outside, yesterday evening...
