Tuesday 13th September

Peter Roberts had ventured down to Frechman's Rocks for another "100 minutes" of sea watching this mornng again, bless him, as the saying goes... Peter's birds today were 12 Pale bellied Brent Geese, 724 Gannets (including a higher % of immature birds than yesterday), 544 Manx Shearwater, 72 Fulmar, 1 Leach's Storm ptrel, 2 Arctic Skua, 4 Great Skua, 3 Kittiwake, 6 Arctic Tern and 3 Razorbill. A visitor e mailed through to say that he had seen an Osprey over Loch Skerrols this morning.



Mike Young who lives just along the road from here, at the entrance to Rockside Farm has a weather forecast station which is linked to the net. Mike has kindly allowed us to link his site to the blog, so if you click on the link to the Kilchoman weather, you will see the recent weather that we are having. It is regularly updated, and makes interesting reading, especially the wind speeds over the last couple of days! Thanks Mike.
