Another memory from the unusual snowy return journey from Islay in early December 2023. The next morning I went for a winter wonderland walk in the area, among other things I noticed these geese sitting in a snow covered field with the fence stretching into the distance. I quite like the monochrome colours in this view.

After finishing some Islay single malt whisky shopping at Bruichladdich distillery I noticed a good number of Barnacle Geese passing over the Laddie Shop
