Hi Emma
I'm from Islay. You will have a great time here. there is plenty of wildlife to see. I suggest that you get in touch with a wild life guide called Jeremy - he runs a company called Islay Birding - Tel. 01496 8500100. He can show show you some amazing wild life . There is also the nature reserves at the Oa and Gruinart. They do regular walks. There is another guide at Gearach who can take you through the forest for photogaphy - cant remember his phone at the moment.

Thanks a lot for that info, Islayhawk, I'll take it with me. I was thinking about contacting Islay Birding, I definately will now!

How's the weather up there? If you see a battered blue fiat punto driving around the island it's me - give me a wave, lol!

Hi Emma
I will keep my eyes open. Weather is not too bad. A few showers but in the main it is dry, on the west coast it would not be normal it we did not have rain - I dont think we will ever get used to it. Maybe in a thousand years we will be born with webbed feet.
I do not know when you are coming over, or where you are staying - but whenever and wherever I am sure you will enjoy yourself - there is lots to see.
regards
