Another great day over here, makes up for all the poor days we had back in December and January...
Visitors had been over on Jura and had seen 2 male Hen Harriers about 20 feet apart! A Merlin was seen too, at Tarbet they had a Chiffchaff and the heronry with 5 nests occupied. Back on Islay they had a Woodcock and also a Snipe. On Wednesday, "uncle Sandy" said that he thought that he had heard a distant Cuckoo down at Foreland, today Malcolm heard it there too. Here at home we had our first Swallow of the year, another visitor had a Corncrake down at the reedbed at the Coastguards' this morning. Other visitors had a pair of Tufted Duck on Ballygrant Loch, another pair along at Loch Allan and also a Goldcrest in the Ballygrant woods.
