A bit of rain overnight, but otherwise fairly dry, sunny days with light winds and moderate temperatures.
On Thursday I took a look from the two hides at RSPB Gruinart where there were plenty of breeding Redshanks and Lapwings showing signs of having chicks in the very lush vegetation after the recent rains. The only oddity noted was a lone Whooper Swan which, at this late date, will I imagine, stay as a summering bird with us.
On Friday Fiona McG. reports large numbers of Manx Shearwaters off Orsay in the pleasant calm evening conditions.

I have just arrived in Islay for 5 days’ holiday. As a visitor, can I send you any interesting bird sightings? Any advice on where to see Choughs or hear Corncrakes would be appreciated. Also, is there any way to receive more current information on sightings? Thank you!
