There are some Swallows nesting at the old hide at RSPB Gruinart, quite difficult to catch in flight, they are so fast. Luckily one of them decided to take a break and pose for me on a fence just outside the hide.
While most of Islay’s Bluebells can be found in and around Bridgend Woods they also plentiful in other places. These I spotted along the path to the old bird hide at RSPB Gruinart, with a Hoverfly photobombing while I was taking this picture.
Spotted during an April walks on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay, two Gulls and seven Oystercatchers on the rocks at the northern end of the beach.
