Saturday 1st June

Well, another month has gone, so it is time to tell you how much rain that we had in our rain gauge. It came to 2.3 inches which is more than May last year when we had only an inch. On the other side of  the coin, the tally for the year so far is a lot drier at 14.2 inches compared to 17.15 last year. Today, the weather has remained dry and a little bit more heat....
With it staying dry, the Swallows have been busy down on their nest sites, and also the 2 broods of Pheasants appear not to have lost any of their chicks yet !!!  This morning, we watched a couple of Buzzards being mobbed by some Jackdaws out over the machir, and then late afternon, another light coloured Buzzard was being by a couple of Jackdaws, this time out towards the crag.
