A day spent in Stranraer allowed a quick run downy to a very blustery Mull of Galloway. Noticed huge differences since I was last there with more facilities and lots more people. The breeding season for most species was largely over with only Kittiwakes, Shags and guillemots hanging around the cliffs. A pair of Kestrels hunted the headland and both Raven and Great Black-backed Gull patrolled the cliffs. Offshore, Gannets passed regularly and four Manx Shearwaters "sheared" past. A Wheatear was present as were a couple each of Swallow and Meadow pipit.
Back at Stranraer, a Black Guillemot was in the harbour and, heading up the coast, a stonechat flew over the road near the Whilk.
