A cool and wet day with fairly strong NW winds on Sunday resulted in no bird news. Today was brighter, dry, sunny and lighter winds until the evening when wind picked up a bit, cloud came in and it rained in the evening. There was just one report: of what is probably the same Osprey as seen a few days ago, seen catching fish at Loch Gorm again, and flying off over towards Gruinart with its meal. This again raised the question of "is there a breeding pair hidden away on Islay"? and "if not, when will they start to breed"? The thought is that it is unlikely that a pair is breeding - more likely that this is a young/non-breeding bird - but perhaps it may like it here and settle to breed in the future?
