Further sightings of interest from James How today, who comments "Another not too bad day to be out goose-counting"
The Glaucous Gull remains at Uiskentuie; 3 different White-tailed Eagles were about up at the Gruinart area where a flock of 43 Fieldfares were seen; a Golden Eagle soared about Killinallan while a Cackling Goose was noted at Craigens. From the hides were 2 Gadwall and 305 Lapwing. Most noteworthy was a count of 5 Little Egrets. James said he had an idea that there might be more than the 3 seen on occasions and today he got 5 all together. This is a record for Islay and makes you wonder how long before they become a resident and perhaps breeding bird here?
