A pleasant sunny dry and mild spring day, though very little to report from the birding front. Gary T. was up and about early for a Sunday morning and noted the Glaucous Gull still stuck to its spot at Uiskentuie. A little later Marc Eden found Islay's first Willow Warbler of 2023 singing at Laphroaig. In the afternoon David Dinsley had another Sand Martin at Kinnabus, while Gary T. finished the day with a report of a Shoveler in the pool where the Gartmain burn meets the beach - an odd location.
In other news, Steve Percival informed us that a radio-tagged Barnacle Geese he has been monitoring left Islay yesterday heading north towards its breeding grounds. It won't be long now before they are all gone for summer..................
