Spotted somewhere between Loch Skerrols and Bridgend Woods during a November Islay walk, a few Geese in flight after having been spooked earlier.

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.
