Friday 4th August

 A pleasant sunny day, but lots of midges this evening.

Margaret Brooke reports from Kilchoman: "High jinks this afternoon with 14 Pied Wagtails out on the grass and a stoat came out to try and catch one. It was them dive-bombed by the Swallows, so it retreated under a bush. Also some young Linnets getting fed at edge of long grass"

Owen Roberts sent in his notes from the opposite side of the island: "Had a look at the woodlands between Port Ellen and Kildalton in today's better weather. The highlight was a small roving flock of Common Crossbills, almost in the same spot as we saw them late last autumn. Great, Blue, Coal and Long-tailed Tits, plus Treecreeper, did no harm to our trip list!"
