A sultry day of sunshine and showers.
Some late bird notes from yesterday:
Ella Simpson saw a Short-eared Owl along the High Road yesterday evening. There hasn't been a report of this species in months, but there must be a pair or two tucked away breeding out there?
Mary Redman reported a Corn Crake crex-crexing away outside her house at Claddach last night.
Yesterday's Osprey report is apparently a photo taken by our regular supplier of great bird photos, Billy Stitchell who took a photo of one flying over Loch Allan. It is on the Islay Facebook page if you know how to navigate such things!
Today we have a report from David Dinsley of a Long-tailed Duck loafing about with moulting Eiders at Kintra. He says there is another couple in Loch Indaal. This is a very unusual sighting with only one previous June record - ever! Photo below:
Mary-Ann Featherstone has a family of Bullfinches over at Kildlton - always good to get confirmed breeding records.
Up at Kilchoman, Margaret Brooke has found tadpoles in her pond and wonders if it is not a bit late ?
