Sun 21st Sept

I forgot to say yesterday, that James had an Osprey while he was away, but that was over at Loch Earn!
Back on Islay, James had 2 Barn Owls at Gruinart, and a further one down towards the Airport. Round the other side of Loch Gorm, there were 2 Wheatear. Yesterday up at Ardnave, a Peregrine Falcon was seen. Down at Gruinart there was a ring tail Hen Harrier, a Sparrowhawk, while in the evening there was a Tawny Owl, the first that James has seen there for a while and another Barn Owl. Today at Griunart, James had 15 Pale bellied Brent Geese, a Sparrowhawk. Coming over here this afternoon, James saw a solitary Wheatear, and further on there was a sub adult Cuckoo on a fence post. We had the Treecreeper in the wood, while James was here, along with several Goldcrest. JRH
