Back from the Highlands

Hello

I'm just back from an eight day tour of the Ardnamurchan Peninsular in the West Highlands of Scotland where we managed plenty of views of Otter, a regular Pine Marten and both Golden and White-tailed Eagles amongst plenty of other wildlife. Rather wet up there though!

Back here in the county I saw plenty of Red Kites and Common Buzzards riding the air currents today but didn't really have time to commit to much birding. An evening visit to Harrington Airfield provided brief views of a covey of six Grey Partridge but little else.

During this coming week it is hoped to commit to some more bird ringing at Harrington Airfield and general access to the bunkers and old airstrip will be restricted on both Wednesday and Thursday. The footpaths and concrete track remain unaffected.

Regards
