Breezy to start, but warm, sunny and dry.
Frank Cavanagh reports 3 Red-throated Divers seen yesterday lunchtime at Claggain Bay. These could well be breeding birds coming down from the lochans on the hills to feed in the sea.
Today's news is all about Swifts. Always a scarce and unpredictable species on Islay there were reports from David Wood of one from the ferry close to Lagavulin, then a little further on the journey 2 more at Ardmore. A little later, Frank Cavanagh saw one on The Oa. There was obviously a bit of a passage going on as Jim Dickson messaged to say he was seeing 30 or more down at the south end of the Kintyre peninsula at lunch time.
David Wood also mentioned that the sea on the ferry crossing was busy with plenty of auks and Manxies.
