Some of the thousands of Barnacle Geese wintering on Islay, here seen on Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay. After feeding through the night under a moonlit sky they were roosting on the beach in the morning.
Near the top of Loch Indaal a number of Barnacle Geese are sitting near the shore. It turned out to be an incoming tide, when I returned to the same spot an hour later the shore had flooded and no geese were to be seen any more.
Somewhere at Gruinart, I think looking north(ish) from the old/south hide. A single Barnacle Goose is coming in for landing among other Barnacle Geese already feeding on the ground.
