Sunday 22nd May

A better day again, it has to be with Bruichladdich Distillery having their open day today, and usually they manage to get a good day with the weather, today was no exception...
Andy and Jane, the Bowland birders left yesterday, but kindly sent their sightings seen from the ferry. At Port Ellen, they saw Arctic Terns. On passage, 7 Turnstone were seen flying towards Islay, 2 Manx Shearwater, 6 Kittiwake, Razorbills, Guilliemots, Gannets and GND. In West Loch Tarbert, some Common Terns were seen. A total of 110 species were seen during their visit. Many thanks to you both for sharing your sightings with and look forward to seeing you in the Autumn...
Today, the Rochdale birders had seen a Peregrine carrying prey over close to Coal Ila and later on they saw a Swift flying North at Foreland.
