More sunshine than rain today, still with a cool northerly wind.
A late House Martin at Lagavulin seen by Neil McMahon before
his group’s departure this morning. Thanks for all your records his week.
Dan Brown found a European race White-fronted Goose amongst
our regular Greenland birds on the Killinallan side of Gruinart.
Pete Hughes was on The Oa finding Snow Bunting, 2-3 Golden
Eagles, single Hen Harrier and Peregrine and a flock of 19 Twite at the RSPB
car parking area.
Jonathan Willet saw similar birds on his visit to The Oa,
and confirmed the American Wigeon, Lesser Scaup and Long-tailed Duck still
present on Loch Skerrols.
The 5 or so Bottle-nosed Dolphins were still doing the
rounds of Loch Indaal today, being seen at Port Charlotte in the morning, then
up at Bruichladdich heading back south at lunchtime and finally beyond Port
Charlotte towards Nerabus in the afternoon.
After a long stay on Islay contributing regularly to the
blog, Teresa Morris left today – thanks to you too for your sightings and great
photos.
