Arrived at the Gaelic College first thing to find the saltmarsh at the head of Loch Indaal alive with birds. Most notable were around 30 Brent Geese feeding on the sand then circling the bay and splashing down offshore. They then proceeded to squabble and lunge at eachother. Around 50 - 100 Teal were also feeding in the shallows, with small numbers of Red breasted Mergansers and Mallards in the slightly deeper water.
The drive over to Port Ellen was notable only for more heavy rain. Waiting for the ferry back to Kennacraig, four Collared Doves and numerous House Sparrows were near the grain store. As dusk fell, a single Great northern Diver flew over our wake [Final species lists for Islay were 56 Birds and 6 Mammals, with 9 species added to the year list].
