Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th February
The easterly wind continues and it's been more or less dry.
No records were received on Tuesday, but, on Wednesday, Mary McR reported that there was a male Hen Harrier by her house in Port Wemyss earlier, and that a White-tailed Eagle was active between there and Octofad daily. She also said that there was a single noisy Oystercatcher hanging about between the field and the shire, which she hoped would soon find a pal! One wonders if it has perhaps recently lost a pal, hence all the noise trying to attract a replacement.

I am visiting Islay for the week and staying in the house near the lighthouse at Port Ellen. Yesterday I saw a male corncrake on the edge of the track running into the long grass. Don't know if this is unusual for the area.
