A fine start to the day, but it became progressively more cloudy, misty and damp with an increasing light wind. But there have been a few birds of interest today:
David D. was on a nocturnal ramble after midnight last night and heard Water Rail calling at Carnain followed by a Long-eared Owl calling near Loch Skerrols. Records of this owl are few and far between - possibly in part because they are so elusive.
Gary T. continued the day's notes with a good sighting of two Short-eared Owls tussling in the sky behind his house at Ballygrant.
Kate Butterworth saw a Red-throated Diver flying over the Sound this morning on her way to Jura where she had Red-breasted Merganser with young at Lussa. On her return she found a Swift flying over Bruichladdich.
There have also been reports from Steve & Lyn Rogers and Jackie Wedd of Minke Whales seen from the Islay - Kennacraig ferry yesterday and today,
