Picture of a flock of Barnacle Geese in flight, seen across an old stone wallSome Barnacle Geese passing Gartbreck near Bowmore in April 2014. Most of the geese have left by that time of year, these were some of the last remaining ones, soon to leave as well. The view is from Gartbreck over to Bowmore (you can see the Round Church’s tower and roof towards the right). May be the geese were spooked by the yellow helicopter landing near Bowmore?
