Dave Pierce who leads tours for Naturetrek and has led tours to Islay in the past, was in touch with some interesting information on a Golden Eagle, and no, it is correct not an April Fool's spoof...
"I just though you'd be interested to know a Golden Eagle from one of the
territories I have been monitoring in my Badenoch district visited Islay. It
fledged in July 2019. It arrived on Islay near Port Askaig at c1800 hrs on
Sunday. It's a tagged female and roosted on the N side of Beinn Bhan around
Ulilt Ruadha. The next morning she flew S to be midway between Leorin &
Leorin Lochs before heading back north & off the island."
Thanks for your info Dave, much appreciated...
As promised, some info on the rain which we had on Islay during March. Dr Matt Jackson's rain gauge down at Rockside road end held a mere 2.92 " for the month while Marsali's came to the best part of 4.56" over at Muindry, exactly the same figure that she had back in January...
