Technical problems on the blog last night, the main problem being that Mary is having a weekend off. Anyway, lots of sightings from yesterday, so here we go. Jim had a carrion crow down on The Oa, a half decent record for Islay. Back up at Carnain, he had an osprey, a peregrine, 67 knot, 89 barwits and 3 wigeon. 25 house martins at Gruinart finished off his day.
Lauren also had an osprey, but this one was over Loch Gruinart. There was a male hen harrier at the South Hide and a dipper on the Sorn.
Down on the Rhinns, Paul Hathaway saw a WTE over Octofad, and Mary had 2 swallows at Tormisdale, a male hen harrier and a single kestrel at Lossit and 2 more at Cladville.
RSPB residential volunteer Alex Mangan leaves tomorrow, he very kindly left us some of his pictures from his month on Islay. Here's some chough enjoying the sun at The Oa.
