A late corncrake still calling north of Saligo and a blackcap having a brief sing at Gruinart were my best efforts today. On a beautiful afternoon near Saligo we had a distant glimpse of a couple of cetaceans, probably bottlenose dolphins, but too far away to be sure.
Over on whatsapp, Double D reported an adult pair of kestrels with 3 juvs near Kinnabus, Mary-Ann saw a bullfinch, and our Mary had another kestrel at Tormisdale today and a bonxie over Portnahaven yesterday.
Al Kitching went up to Ardnave Point today in search of choughs. He didn't see any but did get ravens, sand martins, and both male and female hen harrier...
...thanks very much Al.
Reports persist of dead birds, particularly auks, around Islay and other parts of the Scottish coast at the minute. Please follow the guidance at the link below if you find any.
