The weather continues in an ever-changeable way - light winds with intervals of cloud, sunshine and rain.
Yesterday, Clive McK. commented on high tides at Gruinart washing out nests of 1-2 gulls and waders as well as counting 15 Dunlin, a Grey Plover (unusual in June), 75 Oystercatchers, 6 Kittiwakes and a Sandwich Tern there.
Today Clive witnessed some more of early-returning migrants in the shape of summer-plumaged Black-tailed Godwits arriving into Loch Gruinart - a total of 55 in two groups, with some stopping and others flying on.
Other news comes from Kinnabus, where David W. found 2 Stock Doves - another scarce bird for Islay.
