A wonderful, balmy evening meant a trip to the family outpost in Drymen. It was one of those "read the newspaper at 11 o'clock" kind of nights with parties of screaming Swifts straffing the pub-goers and twittering House Martins visiting their nests in the village houses. Lots of bats and a probable Barn Owl helped speed the journey home.
News from the web is that a pair of Choughs have successfully bred on Rathlin Island for the second year running. Also, there is evidence of a significant Crossbill irruption and Little Gulls and Green Sandpipers are moving down the East coast [9,000].
