Long days and short nights are the perfect time to go island hopping, so we did. It helps if the weather is good - and it is. First stop was Rathlin with two days on the island and a couple of good walks. We got everything we expected to see and had a bonus great northern diver and 5 manx shearwater at Rue point. There was also a barnacle goose with the greylag flock on Ushet Lough. We were too late for calling corncrake but were more than happy with the short break. Other highlights were whitethroat, great skua, peregrine, raven and buzzard.
