Friday 15 July

 Half way through July already, where is the summer going? 

Yet more reports of dead and dying birds on Islays beaches.  Very sad to encounter, lets hope it doesn't last too long.  

Advice copied from the Machrihanish Bird Observatory FB page:

* Keep dogs on leads

* Do not pick up or tough dead or sick wild birds

* Do not touch wild bird feathers or surfaces contaminated with wild bird droppings.

* If you keep poultry or other birds, wash your hands and lean and disinfect your footwear beef  tending to your birds.

* Please report dead wild waterfowl (swans, geese or ducks or other wild birds such as gulls or birds of prey) to DEFRA's GB helpline 03459 335577
