Hen Harriers 47 (plus) - Scottish Government NIL

I'm expecting delivery of a T-shirt I bought in support of Hen Harriers, it has the names of FORTY-SEVEN harriers killed or disappeared in suspicious circumstances. Unfortunately before it has been delivered another three have been reported...so far. 

I've added a link to an article about the latest one below and a separate link to a video detailing its fate, and lack of any apparent actions to stop the slaughter.

On a lighter note, I managed to catch up with the adult Mediterranean Gull at Arbroath, my House Martins all fledged successfully (they don't eat grouse) and a few photos I forgot about!

It had to move as the tide came in



House Martin, I'm waiting to see evidence of a second nesting attempt. In past years they've been successful in raising two broods



I've no idea about this moth which was even better hidden than in the photo. I edited it up a bit to see the features. I'm jealous of my neighbour who photographed a pair of Garden Tiger Moths, no attempt to blend in by them
