Thursday 14th April

Another chilly, damp, partially rainy and cloudy day with few observations to report.

Yesterday Angharad saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker along the Laggan River. Do please send in any records of this species as I’d like to check to see if this recent breeding colonist to Islay is still spreading across the island and increasing in numbers.

More singing Willow Warblers are being reported: at Laggan River yesterday and one at Cornabus and three at Ballygrant today. And there were still 6 sub-adult White-tailed Eagles present at Gruinart.

David Wood had our first Common Sandpiper of the year at Kinnabus today and there was a Corncrake reported from Oronsay - so listen out for our first here on Islay.
