The Eider, a magazine published by the Argyll Bird Club, offers a wonderful overview of the range of birdlife here. The following is the species list published in the newsletter after a recent field trip on the ferry to Islay and back: a great idea for a day trip!

Not all the rare bird visitors survive the harsh winter climate.  This waxwing sadly didn’t.
