Friday 13th May

 Friday 13th! Unlucky for some, but isn't every day?  Certainly unlucky for what looked like a fledgling jackdaw, squished on the road near Craigfad.

Starting off with a quick apology to Jackie Wedd yesterday, who I had renamed Wood. Sorry Jackie, autopilot was driving the touch-typing!  Jackie was out today on the Rhinns where she enjoyed more cuckoo activity - a pair courtship feeding while being mobbed by 2 meadow pipits. Perhaps the love in the air drowned out the pipits activity.  She also was treated to close up views of a Roe deer at Loch Gruinart woodland trial.

Out tonight along the Bun Othan Coastal path, Port Wemyss, there was close views of sandpiper, plenty gannet and of course few inquisitive grey seal.  Up at Claddach Loch, an other(or the same) bonxie was in taking a wash.

No photos today, so I borrowed this charming view of a blue tit, taken 3 days ago by Billy, Caol Ila. Thanks to all for the contributions.

Mary
