Picture of a large number of Barnacle Geese in flightA view of the sky at Gruinart in mid October 2013. At times it was full with Barnacle Geese in flight, spooked by something (possibly an Eagle which was seen in the area many times) they all set off. An amazing sight and sound.

Picture of a large number of Barnacle Geese feeding in a field bathed in evening sunlightA view from a beautiful sunny autumn afternoon on Islay. Barnacle Geese feeding on a field bathed in the mild afternoon sunshine. I can’t remember where exactly I took this picture, but I think it was somewhere between Sunderland and Rockside on the Kilchoman Road.
