Stacey, from over on Oronsay reports to say that they had their first Wheatear of the year on Wednesday, and while on Colonsay a Water Rail was seen. Whilst doing the International Goose count the other day, the total absence of Barnacle Geese on Colonsay was noted, although there were a few on Oronsay itself. SA
Meanwhile, back here on Islay, James had a Tawny Owl and 2 Barn Owls on Tuesday, as well as 2 Woodcock, and 3 Hen Harrier consisting of 1 male and 2 females. On Wednesday evening, James saw a male Hen Harrier "sky dancing". JRH
Today, over the pools at Carnain, Andy had 2 Sand Martin swooping, hunting for food. RAS
