Thurs 16th April

Louise had seen a Pale bellied Brent Goose over on Jura, earlier on this week and she reckons that they are not seen that often over there.
Back here on Islay, and I saw a Swallow, the first for the year at home. Over on the walk at Gruinart this morning, and I saw my first Bluebells and Wood Sorrel flowering in the woods at the reserve, and noted a Coal Tit singing away in the trees. The blossom on the Gorse at present, is as strong a showing as I can recall for a few years, a sign of what to come one wonders!
