Summer solstice today, and it will feel like a long day when we've finished counting corncrakes at 2am tonight, as it's round 2 of this year's crex surveys. A couple of good records today - Twitter sensation David Dinsley had a short-eared owl on The Oa, so gets BOTD. Hot Ed Burrell only narrowly misses out with his sighting of crossbills with young in Cornabus forestry. Very few confirmed breeding records for Islay, according to Malcolm.
Visitor Graham chipped in with a male hen harrier and a pair of golden eagles at The Oa this afternoon, and that's yer lot, apart from this common darter near Saligo.
Thanks to all the above for the sightings.
