Spotted from the beach in Port Charlotte, two birds on the water off some rocks at the end of the beach. I’m led to believe they are Red-Throated Divers in their winter plumage, so that’s what I’m calling them.

Seen from the Bunnahabhain road, I think somewhere near Persabus: A good number of birds swirling around in the air with the Paps of Jura behind them. Unfortunately I didn’t check at the time and can’t properly make out from the picture what they are (I think some are Hooded Crows).
