A view from the bird hide at Gruinart on a November late afternoon. Some Geese (I believe Barnacle Geese) arriving for the roost against the last light of the gloaming in the sky.

A November afternoon at Gruinart, the light slowly fading and a crescent Moon visible in the sky. In the distance some Barnacle Geese are arriving. If you look closely you can just make out some Whooper Swans on the water.

Right after seeing them flying over the RSPB Gruinart car park I watched the Barnacle Geese flying out over the flats before landing for the night.
