Wednesday 26th August

 Lesley kindly me through her WeBS count from Bowmore down to Gartbreck which she had carried out the other day...

Her birds were as follows... 68 Ringed PLover, 8 Blackwits, 70 Dunlin, 172 Greylags, 16 Oystercatcher, 32 Shag, 2 Cormorant, 1 Eider, 1 Mallard, 3 Redshank, 5 Snipe, 24 Curlew, 2 Grey Heron, 2 Mute Swan, 4 B H Gull, 5 Common Gull, 8 G bb Gull, 7 L bb Gull and also 36 Herring Gull.

I read with interest that the fund raising is going on, not too badly for the new Fair Isle Bird Obs, and has now reached  just short of £79k, only another  £571K to go, but a lot more raised in just over a week since the funding was set up, so keep it going, that is the donating that I am referring to...
