Wednesday 29 September

 

Thank to Dave Wood for sending the above photo of a pair of young white-tailed eagles squabbling over scraps at the head of Loch Indaal not far from the road.  A peregrine was nearby also.

At the Kilchoman reserve this morning, Margaret spotted a sparrowhawk sheltering on a post by the willow.

At Claddach this morning, a chaffinch and a robin nipped into the shrubs by the house.  Makes you realise the importance of garden shrubs and willow plantation on blowy days like today on Islay.  While 9 golden plover flew overhead at the bay.
