The Birds of Islay and Jura Published February 2026

Friday 17th, Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th July

Three further days of glorious weather, though becoming slightly cooler by Sunday with a light northerly breeze, but otherwise dry and sunny.

There were no bird sightings for Friday. Yesterday  Mary R. noted a first year White-tailed Eagle at Claddach - presumably a fledged young from the pair in the large forestry area in the south of the Rhinns? Today David D. reported hearing the Quail again intermittently at Kinnabus - who knows if they are just off-course migrants or if there is breeding going on? Louise Muir, over on Jura had an Osprey at the head of Loch Tarbert with a White-tailed Eagle there later in the day.
