While watching a Golden Eagle perched on a rocky outcrop at the top of Loch Indaal not doing much two other interesting birds suddenly showed up: A Buzzard and a male Hen Harrier. They seemed to have a bit of a disagreement, unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of that. But I did manage to capture this view of the Hen Harrier in full flight.

A view from Ballitarsin over both Bowmore and Port Charlotte on opposite sides of Loch Indaal. The Round Church on the left, Loch Indaal lighthouse on the right. Beinn Tart a’Mhill (232m) in the background.
