Squally showers and sunshine and moderate SW winds gave ay to a brighter, dry and sunny afternoon.
Mary Redman saw a Barn Owl near Portnahaven last night. Today Swallows were seen by David D. and Ed Burrell at Ghiol on the Oa and Imeraval. Later David D. had a couple of female Goosanders on Loch Kinnabus. Our first Cuckoo of 2023 on Islay was heard by Steve & Lynn Rogers at Kildalton. Back on the other side of the island Lucy Atkinson had the first Blackcap (a female) of 2023 for Islay, plus 20 or more Sand Martins at Gruinart North Hide, a Willow Warbler on the Woodland Trail and a group of 7 Barnacle Geese still lingering with us.
