Spotted at the northern end of Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay, some Sea Pinks growing on rocks, partially covered by wind blown sand.

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.
