July Skye

1st July

A very vociferous and active common sandpiper, delineating its territory at Tianavaig Bay.


On the shore of Tianavaig Bay - this is the first image I've submitted to iSpot (http://www.ispot.org.uk/) for identification. Well, it was identified within minutes as thrift (Armeria maritima)



Looking south from Tianavaig Bay

Sunset over Skeabost Forest



24th

A young male hen harrier in transitional plumage, soon to be a father (see August blog)

A single redpoll. They are supposed to be common but I only see them rarely
