Thursday 19th June

Light southerly winds, sunshine and warmth for much of the day.

Ed Burrell found a Stock Dove at Cornabus - a scarce bird indeed on Islay. Jeff Duncan saw a Swift and 10 Twite west of Port Charlotte.

Otherwise, a report came in of Black-throated Diver on Jura, possibly breeding. If confirmed it would be the first definite breeding record for 30+ years, though Jura is choc-a-bloc with remote lochs and lochans in places where few people, let alone birders ever go, so they, along with all sorts of other gems, could be breeding up there incognito annually!
