Friday 31st January 2025

My apologies to George Jackson who, responding to my appeal for records at the beginning of the week, e-mailed some sightings to islaybirds@gmail.com which I forgot to check! And what's worse, he e-mailed them four days ago!

Anyway, on 27th January, he  saw an adult WT eagle west of the road below Ardnave, four Redwings flying out of trees near Rock Mountain on the Kilchoman road, and finally, on Loch Finlaggan, a single Whooper being harassed by two Mute swans.
