Wildfowl Weather


Greylag and Brent geese with a drake Widgeon on the shoreline at Bruichladdich this morning.  We have been experiencing light snow showers all day, but it is not settling on the low ground.  It is cold however, with a stiff north-easterly breeze.

Widgeon (Anas penelope) at Loch Skerrols


There are around 500 Widgeon on Loch Skerrols at the moment, with further concentrations at both Loch Gruinart and Loch Indaal.  Smaller numbers can be found pretty much anywhere around the coast of islay at this time of year
