Wednesday 20th November

Another gie dreich sort of a day out on Islay (again), but it did not deter Armin. Possibly that is not 100% true as it was at least dry when he set out for his walk along Machir Bay, but by the sound of things he got rather wet and not too many birds seen either. He had some Gulls and he also reckoned that there were only around 20 Ringed Plovers around today. He had a Robin pecking at the patio door of his cottage. Back on Sunday evening, he saw a Heron over at Laphroaig when he was taking some "night photography" images at the Distillery. Armin wondered if the Heron was dazzled by his headtorch, as it did not seem to be disturbed by him being around at all.
