Thursday 25th March

Before I forget, as we are still in the middle of the current pandemic, there will be no meeting of the Islay Bird nerds on Tuesday evening. It must be back in November 2019 that we last met up.


Morven and the team from Nature Scotland, formerly SNH, carried out the International Goose count last week, and here are the figures which Morven sent through to me the other day...

"The count was carried out on 16/17 March and totals were 29,798 barnies, 6878 white-fronts and 693 greylags. Lots of pairs of greylags noticeable at the moment"

Many thanks for your figures, Morven...
