ISLAY SEASONWATCH: SPRING
With the Spring Equinox comes lengthening days, peewits are calling from their nests, skylarks, oystercatchers, curlews, snipe, redshank, choughs, henharrier are displaying and nesting. Hares are boxing in the grass fields. Geese are amassing at Loch Gruinart before heading north again to their Greenland breeding grounds. Whooper swans, fieldfare and redwings are migrating on their northward passage. The first summer migrants from the south arrive including wheatears, sandmartins, cuckoos and swallows. Primroses in early spring give way to carpets of bluebells in the woodlands. First spring calves and lambs are born.
