There’s been lots of news from all around the island today – thanks everyone for posting your sightings on the WhatsApp group or sending an email.

Merlin at Currie Sands.
Mary-Ann Featherstone reports from the Battery: 1 Grey Heron, a pair of Red-Breasted Mergansers, 3 Oystercatchers, 2 Herring Gulls, and 14 Common Seals. She also has good news from Seal Bay: Islay’s loneliest Curlew has finally made a friend!
