Clive McK. spotted a Barn Owl on a roadside fence at Gruinart last night.
Today, snowy showers along with fairly strong northerly winds brought a very wintry feel to a normally slightly more benign Islay.
I popped up to the top of Loch Indaal at Bridgend and walked out to the mouth of the River Sorn where a scattered total of 6 White-tailed Eagles sat and flapped into the wind on the flats. Here too were 2-3 Greenshanks and a couple of Little Egrets looking very chilly. Up at Loch Skerrols the loch seemed devoid of the usual Tufted Ducks but a trio of Goosander, including one male, made the visit worthwhile. Here at Bruichladdich were a record-beating total of 7 Greenfinches on my feeders.
Elsewhere, Andy Clements was out on the Oa where he counted 22 Twite on the RSPB Car Park feeders.
