Sounds like a great trip to Islay which is still one of the islands that I have yet to visit.
Richard | Cheers Richard - I reckon I've got it good too.
Islay in autumn is superb. We saw 109 species of bird including 2 species of eagle and approx. 50000 geese, otters, common and grey seals, porpoise, bottlenose dolphin and eight distilleries!

If I ever pop down to the Dales on a holiday or something I'll have to come and see this Field Studies Centre! Next year me and the family are off to Wester Ross so I'm kind of planning nice places to go and walks for the dog etc. Also I have heard on Islay that the RSPB reserve at Loch Gruinart is an excellent place for wildlife. I take it you have been there Rob?

If you're down here let me know and I could even do a guided tour of the adjacent NNR for you. Quote:

I take it you have been there Rob? | Loch Gruinart is lovely and full of wildlife - go anytime between mid-October and mid-March and you'll be sharing it with 30,000 geese mind you. Two photos here to whet your appetite. The first is the flooded areas on the reserve itself and the second a general view over the loch as the sun was going down - wish I was there right now.
