Sunday 14/05/06

Breakfast at the unbelievably early time of 9 a.m.. I have a chat with our Australian guest, who is interested in the Arnish Lighthouse. She leaves at 12.30 for a look round. It's bright and sunny if cold day. The blackbirds and sparrows all have nests with young and are frantically looking for food. One sparrow is in and out of the bushes at the front, looking for spiders. The blackbirds are raiding the worms. For the second time this spring, a bird is pictured in the paper, nesting in the amber light of a traffic light in Glasgow. Nice underfloor heating, the green light having a nice long phase. This picture shows the bird incubating, a later pic clearly shows 3 chicks. A little rain falls after 8pm and a rainbow ends at one of the gun emplacements at Arnish Point. Not staying up late tonight.
