A lovely bright, but breezy sunny day with Easterly winds and few clouds.
Fiona McGillivray reports a Magpie at Craigfad yesterday evening - an Islay rarity!
Today there were more sightings of Whimbrels: just single birds so far at Port Wemyss and Claddach c/o Fiona and Mary Redman.
Margaret Brooke noted a Hen Harrier on parade between Coull and Saligo this morning while I had my first Blackcap - singing nicely in woodland between Lochs Allan and Ballygrant this morning.
Down on The Oa David Dinsley noted straggling lone Pink-footed and Greenland White-fronted Geese and saw a colour-ringed Twite on the feeders at The Oa car park that had been ringed in Teeside - perhaps that is where it went for winter from Islay? (Photo below)
Across the Sound, Louise Muir had a Grey Wagtail at Craighouse on Jura.
