At Gruinart, James from the telly gets BOTD with his traditional Spring drake garganey at the South Hide. There are 7 late whoopers on the flats.
Margaret had 2 fulmar on the crag, and both saw and heard her corncrake today at Kilchoman. Hot Ed had a pair of bullfinch at Cairnmore.
Malcolm saves us from no picture hell with this guy - Islay's very first lunar marbled brown moth, caught in his garden at the weekend. He reports..."a first for Islay and, with a couple of records on Colonsay, the third for the vice-county. It's common enough in the southern half of England, but scarcer in the north with scattered records in western Scotland. It is a rather worn specimen, they are rather brighter and better marked when fresh."
Well done Malcolm. Thanks very much to all the above. Cheerie!
