Friday 11th September

Yesterday, Mary counted 60 swallows gathering at Portnahaven, up on Loch Gruinart, Heather spotted the Osprey. Toda on her way to work, Mary saw a small Sparrowhawk on the ground at Lyrabus, in front of the visitor centre, in the fields, were 60 Lapwings. Here at home a Sparrowhawk popped out of the bushes, wonder how long it had been there for.... the large mixed flock of Choughs and Jackdaws were out earlier, testing their flying skills in the increasing winds, think we are in for a wee change in the weather in the next day or two!
