Islay had its first spring visitors arrive yesterday, they must have heard the sun was shining! A wheatear was seen at Ardnave, just north of Loch Gruinart. This bird is usually the first to arrive and is on schedule. The second sighting was a very early chiffchaff on The Oa, very helpfully perched on a wire for all to get a good sighting.
