Walking back from a climb up the track to Kilchiaran my sister Imke noticed this nice view and light at the southern end of Kilchoman beach and took the picture. Nice waves rolling in from the Atlantic as the sun briefly breaks through the dark clouds.
Must admit I don’t know what this Swallow photographed in June 2025 is bringing back and for what exactly. It seems to be some kind of stick, some grass seeds and some mud? Not sure if it was for nest building or to somehow feed the young ones?
