Nothing sensational of note today,
though Mary-Ann Featherstone reports a build-up of Willow Warblers (c.50) over at Kildalton
– presumably the start of autumn movements for this early migrant.
On a different subject: We are privileged to have fairly good numbers of nesting Hen Harriers on Islay. Some other parts of UK aren’t so lucky, with lots of suitable habitat but very few breeding birds due to ongoing illegal persecution. To highlight this and celebrate the species there is an annual Hen Harrier Day coming up on Saturday 7th August that may be of interest to blog readers: https://wildjustice.org.uk/henharrierday/
