Mary-Ann Featherstone had seen 2 Goldcrest over at her patch out past Ardbeg yesterday. Also yesterday Mandy and also Lesley had both seen their first Swallows of the year at their respective cottages.

Today Lesley e mailed the following sightings through to me today...
"Had my 2nd Swallow today so must be Summer Also 10am on way to Bowmore a Cuckoo- being buzzed by mippets."

Steve Wrighston who lives up at Bolsay, up behind Port Charlotte e mailed through some birds seen which "he thought you might like to know what birds have been about at Bolsay this week.
We've had 3 Wheatear this morning , there are lots of Willow warblers singing in the scrub on the lane.We've had our first Swallow. My wife and I watched a male Hen Harrier sky dancing and two males flying together over the forest. Reed Buntings and Stonechats are showing every day. The house is surrounded by singing Skylarks and chasing Meadow Pipits. All this is topped off by a brilliant sighting of a White tailed Eagle."
