Unlike the successful one I watched catching a fish at another time I didn’t see this one being successful: A Little Egret on the hunt in the RSPB Gruinart nature reserve on Islay.

Forever one of my favourite views on Islay, walking over the top of the dunes at Kilchoman with the view over the beach and Machir Bay opening up in front of me. Be it on a sunny day, be it on a rainy day, be it on a mixed day like here with some clouds but also some blue sky.
