Another day that started out grey and drizzly, but turned into bright and sunny by the afternoon.
Large numbers of feeding Gannets were being seen offshore around much of the coast today - Orsay island and the Sounds of Islay and Jura.
Tim Scott sent in a lot of useful confirmed breeding records of common species along the Laggan River and Sanaigmore - it is surprising how few of these are recorded and go into the database, so keep them coming! Species seen with fledged young included Whinchat, Stonechat, Long-tailed and Great Tits, Starlings and Pied Wagtails.
Jamie Barton saw his first Hen Harrier of his visit to Islay at Portnahaven. The group visiting with my friend David Rosair were on Jura today and had a light-phase Arctic Skua chasing a Merlin just south of Feolin that crossed the Sound to Islay.
