Gannets are very common in Glendale and they can be seen daily, diving close to the shore and Pier in Loch Pooltiel, between April and October.
It is a spectacular sight to watch them plunging head-first into the water from great heights on the long Summer evenings.
Great Skuas, commonly known as 'bonxies', and the daintier Arctic Skuas are now being seen regularly at Neist Point between May and September. Bonxies also regularly come into Loch Pooltiel to harass the gulls.
Manx Shearwaters feed in huge numbers off Neist Point in late Summer.
The magpie was calling from the roof of Sgarbh Lodge, Lower Milovaig at 7:15am.
Two distant bonxies went north past Neist Point at mid-day. There were no wheatears on Neist Point for the first time since spring.
The magpie flew into the garden at 1 Lower Milovaig at 5pm.
