Thanks to Mark for covering the blog yesterday.
James reported 3 ruff, an osprey, a sparrowhawk, approx 50 black tailed godwits, and 12 knot among the waders. All at Loch Gruinart.
Jim reported the following: "Carnain, Loch Indaal - 45 knot, 120+ meadow pipits & 40+ alba wagtails (mostly whites on sand), 160+ sand Martin, 35 swallow, 42 teal and one male hen harrier."
Later from Bruichladdich Jim spotted a dark phase Arctic Skua flying East.
At Claddach there was a wheatear by the house all day. Nearby Ballameanach croft had around a dozen wagtails near the house.
Bird Nerds will be meeting on the last Tuesday of the month as usual - details tomorrow.
Tonight is also the last night for Lesley, who sadly leaves Islay tomorrow. Wishing you safe travels Lesley, I'm sure we'll see you back as a visitor in the future.
