Wednesday 23rd August

Arrived back on Islay this evening into ghastly damp, cold, cloudy weather. Perhaps it has been like this all day - and that would be a good reason for lack of any bird news. However, there was plenty of activity on the ferry-crossing:

At Kennacraig there were 2 Little Egrets and a Greenshank and the crossing was full of auks with their young, plus lots of Manx Shearwaters, Kittiwakes and Gannets, along with a pod of c.15 dolphins.
