Sunday 24th January

 James gave me some birds seen by himself over the past few days...

On Friday, he saw 2 White tailed Eagles and also a Golden Eagle when he was over at Bunnahabhain. 

Yesterday, over at Gruinart, he had counted 13 Whooper Swans, another W t Eagle, a Sparrowhawk, a male Hen Harrier and also he had a Little Egret.

This morning, James had a Woodcock up at Ardnave, a Sparrowhawk at Gruinart and finally he saw a Merlin along at Sunderland.


Peter had been out and about today and his top bird was a Kingfisher seen down close to Bridgend.


Before I forget, there will be no meeting on Tuesday evening of the Islay Bird Nerds because of the continual lock down still in place due to the coronavirus.
