A much nicer day with bright sunny conditions, clear skies and light winds.
It was Andrew Chick's last day on Islay and he reports thus:
"managed 91 species in 5 days with today’s
highlights being Great Northern Diver at Port Ellen, 2 adult White-tailed
Eagles on the B8016, ringtail Hen Harrier at Loch Gorm and 15 Twite on the
beach at Machir. Love the island!"
He also shared a couple of great photos:
George Jackson was out this morning at Loch Skerrols: "Near Loch Skerrols this morning: a group of about 20 Redwing
in the trees; then by the loch there were a half dozen Siskins feeding on Alder
cones. Numerous Blackbirds in the woodland - I counted 20 in the small area I
was walking through. Later, about 10.00 am, driving down the High Road there
were at least 40 Fieldfares on a stubble field on east side of the road"
