Friday 14th September

The other day, Bob had seen around 2,000 Meadow Pipit fly over his house, heading West towards Kilchiaran in a 2 hour watch. Louise, yesterday, had a charm of over 100 Goldfinch round at Ballinaby in the morning. Distillery Dave had seen a small group of Pale bellied Brent at Bun an UIsg, just as he was coming out of Bowmore, but could not get a right count as he was in a line of traffic, in the early evening.
This morning, on my way home from Bowmore, a Merlin flew across the road down at McNichol's croft. This afternoon, Martin Armstrong had seen around 95 Twite up here on the bird seed crop and then later on, I had  another flock of around a further 65 Twite.
