Tuesday 31st July

Yesterday James had seen the Rosy Starling up at Ardnave while down on the reserve at Gruinart, he spotted a Swift flying past.
Today, Mike  had seen a Green Sandpiper on a pool up towards Bolsay. Here at home, at the bird nerds meeting, we were graced with a ringtail Hen Harrier fly through the garden, really close in, just fantastic... There were 16 folk attending, including 4 visitors, good of folk to come along. We never got outside, but had good craik with Peter and also James and Dave ably answering many points that were raised.
