Another pleasant dry, warmish day with sunny spells, though very little bird news to impart.
After I failed to see any skua passage yesterday, Gary Turnbull had a Great Skua in Loch Indaal by the Port Charlotte lighthouse this morning attacking a tern.
This afternoon on my way down to Kilchoman there were 4 Whimbrel and 3 Canada Geese on the fields at Ballinaby and a fine male Hen Harrier - another male Harrier was seen by Margaret Brooke at Kilchoman at the same time. Choughs were active at Kilchoman and Michal, back on Islay doing his Chough survey work noted a non-breeding flock of c.40 there on the cliffs just before I got there.
