This Mallard's brood were dispersed over a wide area of Smelly corner when I first saw them, but when she saw me she called them all together into a tight group and led them out of the water onto the far bank.
This is a blog of natural history notes maintained and moderated by members of the management committee of the INHT: Fiona MacGillivray, Isobel Freeman, Bernard Hannett, Kate Coutts and Mark Thaxter
We are always keen for more volunteers on our committee.
We hope that many people, both those who live here and visitors, will contribute their notes and impressions of the natural world on Islay. Please send to:
Photographs, or even short video clips, are particularly welcome.
We look forward to hearing from you
Fiona MacGillivray, Chairperson
