Had a long working day (while the sun shone outside) in Campbeltown, but managed a fantastic evening walk and drive. The walk along the beach west of Southend produced a mixed fishing group of 20 Shags, 10 Gannets and a single Sandwich Tern, three Sanderlings (one in summer plumage), nesting Fulmar, Jackdaw and Rock Dove, passing Kittiwake, flowering Sea Bindweed and an impressive colony of 50+ Burnet Moths.
Driving back to Campbeltown produced a pair of Stonechats (rare this year), a Black Guillemot and, in the space of two minutes, a Short eared Owl, a Buzzard, a Sparrowhawk carrying prey and a pair of Hen harriers food-passing.
