News from the village of Ardentinny, Argyll, Scotland.
This afternoon villagers may have heard a series of loud bangs emanating from the direction of Coulport. On enquiring with the MOD Press Office sellmyhousefast, a spokesperson told Ardentinny.org that there was nothing to worry about and that Coulport had confirmed it was testing security which involved the setting off of some things like pyrotechnics.
Tonight a stranded seal pup remains on Ardentinny beach. The young seal, which is beached just above the high-water line and is around 100cm long, appeared on the beach this afternoon (Sunday). There are no apparent signs of injury. The SSPCA have been contacted, however they are unable to assist tonight. They have requested they be contacted on Monday morning if the seal is still on the beach.
Sadly, wildlife fatalities around Ardentinny continue. Earlier today a pheasant was mown down near Angle Cottage on the road along the Glen. One has to wonder how these incidents occur.
Pheasants in the area are particularly tame. They can frequently be seen wandering by the side of the road and, at times, on the road. However, are these vehicles travelling so quickly that it is impossible for them to take avoiding action?

It’s the same situation for squirrels and the crows who crack open their mussel shells on the highway. Are vehicles driving too fast on these narrow roads to be able to see these creatures ahead?
Back in 2010 some local residents of ‘baby” squirrels crossing. The possibility of signage warning of wildlife has also been discussed at Community Council meetings. However, these have yet to materialise.
One does wonder if this latest incident was related to someone relishing pheasant on the menu for their New Year meal, as just 20 minutes after our photograph was taken, the bird had mysteriously disappeared!
As with much of Argyll, Ardentinny has been affected by the torrential overnight rain. This video (courtesy of Cathy) shows the flooding at the north (Glenfinart) entrance to the village.

Argyll & Bute Council’s recycling collection service along the shore was interrupted this afternoon when their Iveco refuse truck toppled into a ditch near the Blairmore Farm/Shore road junction. Fortunately, it would appear that noone was hurt in the incident. The truck was recovered later in the day.
