Friday 12th July

 A late report emailed in yesterday from Stephen on a visit to Jura ticking off several raptors starting with a juvenile Golden Eagle being mobbed by a falcon - either Kestrel or Peregrine. Followed by a ringtail Hen Harrier seen twice possibly around a nest. Finally and most excitingly he also had two sightings of an Osprey -  a rare observation on Jura.

Fiona kicked things off today with a pair of Whooper Swans landing in a field near Kilchoman. Mary had a flock of 25 Wood Pigeon being watched by a pair of White-Tailed Eagles.

Outside of bird news I had the first Garden Tiger Moth of the season at Gruinart.
