Friday 15th July

Think that I should get a job as a weather forecaster, as the weather today has not been very nice at all, the plane from Glasgow came this morning, but this evening's flight was cancelled. As I look out the window, I cannot see the crag because of the low cloud, or could it be swirling mist, not great whatever.... This morning during a "window" of better weather there were 9 Song Thrushes out on the lawn, and now we have 6 Hooded Crows visiting at every opportunity! Bob is still getting the Rock Doves coming into his garden when he feeds his birds. The day has not been entirely lost as I managed to get some wee jobs done, getting some things done for the British Bird Fair and our trip down there, not long now, only 5 weeks to the start of the 3 day event. So if  you are coming, feel free to drop by the Islay stand, we are in Marquee 7, stand 14, just across from Speyside Wildlife. We can guarantee you a warm Islay welcome, and there is also a free draw for a holiday cottage for week to see the geese when they are here.
