Thunder and lightening with lashing rain as I write tonight! Fierce weather as we approach the end of the month.
This morning at Claddach, on the south-west tip of the island, a nicely marked wheatear was on the track when I arrived. Driving out of Portnahaven a sparrowhawk was hunting on the road near the mast. When I was driving home I counted 7 swallows at Easter Ellister and a further 12 at Wester Ellister.
Mary-Ann counted 16 red-breasted mergansers at Kildalton. Over on Jura at Gatehouse, Louise had close encounter with 2 white-tailed eagles overhead casting shadows over her!
Mark was out an evening walk near the head of Loch Gruinart this evening and counted 106 pale bellied Brents.
