An October sunset watched from Kilchoman beach on a partially cloudy evening on Islay. We are looking out over Machir Bay with waves rolling in from the Atlantic. If you look closely you can make out some Geese flying in the distance just left of centre.
Some of the early arrivals in October 2021, some Barnacle Geese landing at Gruinart after their arrival on Islay from Greenland.
A mid October afternoon on the RSPB Loch Gruinart reserve, the early arrivals of the Barnacle Geese had been spooked and were flying past a cottage near the top of the loch.
