Taken the same afternoon as the dramatic light over Bowmore distillery: Some Barnacle Geese flying over Loch Indaal as they arrive for the roost. A car coming over the hill at Blackrock, it’s headlights reflecting on the water.

Originally I had come to the top of Loch Indaal to watch geese coming in for the roost. They did come in, although not as good and photogenic as I had hoped. While it was cloudy the vast majority of the time the sun did make a few brief appearances. Here a bright spot appeared in the clouds above Bowmore distillery, reflecting on Loch Indaal

Same as with the previous picture I’m not sure what these two lapwings were doing at Islay’s RSPB Gruinart reserve. I assume it was some kind of mating ritual, as I took the picture in April 2024.
