Sunday 10th July

Thank goodness for David Dinsley, who keeps us going today with a minke whale seen from The Oa footpath, 2 swifts at Upper Killeyan and then 3 more swifts over Kinnabus a few hours later. Everyone else was too busy eating ice creams on what was probably one of the hottest days of the year so far on Islay.

Here's the adult that was with the young curlew at the Machrie yesterday, courtesy of David Livingstone. Thanks to the two Davids.
