Being away from Islay at the moment I've no idea what the weather is doing. I do know that it was far too windy for me to get over to Bardsey in N. Wales yesterday or today.
There was a late report in that a Great Shearwater had been seen somewhere between Islay and Rathlin on Thursday, but whether it was in our territorial waters or not is yet to be discovered, let alone whether it was a genuine sighting.
Yesterday's bird news comes from Margaret Brooke who saw White-tailed and Golden Eagle as well as Sparrowhawk up in the Kilchoman/Coull area. David Dinsley had a couple of Swifts hawking over Kinnabus - quite late in the season?
No bird news so far from Islay today, but Ed Burrell noted that there was news of an Alpine Swift not far away on Rathlin: so if you see any swift over Islay check it hasn't got a white belly!
