Another changeable day with sunny bits and showery bits with a light westerly pushing it all along.
Mary-Ann Featherstone had a Barn Owl up at Ardtalla yesterday evening. today there were a couple of interesting sightings: Liam Price saw a female Marsh Harrier by The Machrie and James How saw what is quite likely to have been a Temminck's Stint on the RSPB Floods - but it flew off giving only fleeting views. There are only 5 Argyll records of Temminck's Stint - two of them from Islay, both at Gruinart and both in May (2000 & 2014).
Otherwise it was news about raptors: Gary Turnbull watched a White-tailed Eagle, first perched on the old bit of wrecked ship in the Merse at Bridgend, then practising its hunting skills on the Greylag Geese. Down at Claddach, Mary Redman saw another (adult) White-tailed Eagle and a Sparrowhawk.
