Slightly milder today with winds at times from the SW. Scattered light rain between sunnier spells.
Rob Leslie, visiting Islay again noted a Barn Owl along the road between Bridgend and Bowmore last night. This morning he found the Kingfisher, 27 Brent Geese and a White-tailed Eagle at the top of Loch Indaal near Gartnatra and was up at Ardnave later where he counted 10+ Choughs, a Hen Harrier and the 2 Snow Buntings with a sighting of the Cackling Goose at the turn-off to Killinallan - the same bird also seen by Clive McK. a little further up the road at Craigens. Steve & Lyn Rogers had another White-tailed Eagle over at Kilnaughton. David D. watched a pair of Golden Eagles hunting Pheasants on The Oa with a third, young eagle chased off by the pair. Martin Armstrong had a Water Rail at Nerabus with Pat Jackson seeing another by the River Sorn in Bridgend Woods.
Gary T. was out at Finlaggan and Mulreesh and got "Bird(s) of The Day" when he found 2 Red Kites, which corroborates Marcus Covell's report of one a couple of days ago - the first sightings this year I believe.
