What a week it has been in RiO, medals coming in from every direction - congratulations Team GB you are doing fantastically.

However, we have one gold, here on The Oa, that they don't have....

Our majestic resident Golden Eagle have been showing well recently.  If you are on Islay, join one of our guided walks on a Tuesday and we can try and help you spot one, or give you some tips or where to see them.

It's not just the Golden Eagle that have been conspicuous either:

Sparrowhawk can regularly been seen hunting along the roadsides at the moment.

And it is a tough life being a Common Seal, 'chillaxing' in the rocky bays around the reserve.
