Re: Thanks to WAB and Phil Briggs

Phil... sorry to hear about the one nest site I do know which one you mean and although we could never see that much of the eagles, we still saw lots including the hen harrier and Red Deer! As for the Minke Whale....that's just so typical!!!!!!!!! Don't tell me you were standing there with a mug of tea too?
Anyway, thanks heaps again Phil and I hope the tagging goes well. I would love to come up and join you and Finlay but it's going to be busy here unfortunately

PS.. I did go to the BHPS conference on Hedgehogs, if you want to start a debate, I'm game . The thread is in the mammal forum.
Psst Gaye and Andy were down here for it and gave some good lectures, mostly on the Uist Hedgehog's too.



ww...the cheese butties were something that Helen and I forgot to do once and Phil was a little gutted (oops). Needless to say we both felt very guilty.
As for photos I have some good ones of the White tailed eagles on the nest, taken from a video screen in one of the hides. But I won't be showing these on WAB.

Wolfhill....I know its' only a hill really, but it sure felt like a mountain to me!!!
I will have to go back if only to climb Ben More!

Tinkerbell.....We were lucky enough to be invited to stay at Salen Police Station for the time we were up there, and NO it wasn't in the cell.... There were terrific views of Salen Bay and every morning I was out there scanning the sea and skies for wildlife.

Thanks once again to WAB and Phil
Jo
