A distant view from Kilchoman beach on an October afternoon on the west coast of Islay, a few Barnacle Geese flying high over Eilean an Tannais-sgeir.

Barnacle Geese spooked at Gruinart, Isle of Islay
Image
An October afternoon at Gruinart, not much had happened for quite a while. Small groups arrived and left, nothing too exciting. Suddenly every single Barnacle Goose flew up, something had spooked them and told them to all move on (unfortunately I couldn’t spot the reason). After a while the all settled again, but on Loch Gruinart (it was low tide), mostly out of sight from the hide.

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.
