I am very, very surprised as I said earlier. There are higher numbers heading out towards Durness on the waters too.
Very nice to see.

Brilliant sighting last week of a Long-eared Owl interacting with a Short-eared on territory. SEO attacked the LEO as it passed overhead, both falling to the ground talons locked. Shame no camera!
Seems to be several LEO pairs breeding locally, still very under-recorded.
A substation at Garbole and the associated powerlines running over the hills and along the Glen would industrialise Strathdearn and cause irreparable damage to its natural, historic and cultural heritage and destroy the amenity of local people and the thousands of visitors who come to enjoy this spectacular area.
That made me laugh like a drain. The Scottish government and Westminster have slated the nation to be one giant windfarm and neither give two hoots about tourism. They'd rather have every one move to the lowlands and cities, leaving them and their foreign money spinners and donors to have at the land as they see fit. Clearences MK2 by attrition imho.
Whats happened with the Highland and Moray Birds website on Yahoo ?
When I went on It,It Is coming up that the site Is no longer In use.
Would be a real shame,If this was the case.
Three pairs of Black Throated Divers have eight chicks between them up North North West way, Red throated Divers on the Loch have three chicks.
Good day for Merlin and Hen Harrier too -especially when the Hen harrier decided to fly low over the Lapwings. Poor guy.
Nice to spend a day out in the nowhere.

Hen Harrier snatching a Kestrel off the telephone post was my highlight today along with a non-Loch Ruthven pair of Slavonian Grebes.
Weather was a beast - hotter than a hot thing up on the moors.
Bet that was some sight and a pair of Slavs in breeding plumage, sounds like you had another great day, was out myself on the moors today (North Yorkshire) and my highlight was a Merlin perched on a fence post, not a Hen Harrier but still a cracking bird.
