Glad you had such a good time and enjoyed your stay. Thanks for giving up your spare time and for helping out at the watches. It really makes a difference knowing that the nest sites are covered at all times.
Just to let you know that all the white tail sites I took you to have so far been successful bar one. If you cast your mind back to the nest we could never see properly up by the long loch, well unfortunately that hatched one chick which died, probably due to a bad spell of weather.
All other chicks coming on well and getting fat. I'll be up for there assisting with the tagging and ringing in about four weeks.
All the golden eagle sites on the island have also hatched, so safe for another year from the egger's, just need to keep our eye out for dodgy falconers!!.
Off up to South Uist this week for more hedge hogs!! Think that debate could be a good thread
Thanks again for your help, all the best for the season

Did I mention the
Minke Whale I saw in Salan bay after you'd gone!!
