Many thanks to James for writing the blog in my absence, so it is back to yours truly for a few days again...
Back on Monday, a visitor had reported to say that he had seen a Short eared Owl at the Sanaigmore turn off on a fence post. Some Manx Shearwaters and also Bonxies were seen off Portnahaven by a visitor on Monday as well, not sure if the visitors were the same folk or 2 different folk... The later visitor today had seen a Golden Eagle on the Rhinns. Today, Gary had seen a ringtail Hen Harrier up at Sanaigmore, out quartering over the moorland. Gary also noted seeing several Wheatears on the moor as well as Gannets flying past both ways out on the sea. Down at Machir Bay, a Greenshank flew up off the bay, after being spoofed by a young Peregrine. Back in Gary's garden, he has had a good number of Warblers present today in his shrubbery. Last night, when we arrived home, there were 11 Song Thrushes probing around on the lawn....
