A view from the RSPB Loch Gruinart reserve on Islay, looking over to Colonsay (middle distance) and the Isle of Mull with Ben More (far distance). A bird of prey, I believe a Buzzard, in flight above the shore of Loch Gruinart.

Spotted somewhere at Gruinart, a Buzzard resting on a fence post while a sheep grazes below.
Spotting the shadow might be slightly easier than the bird, which is in front of the rocks top centre. I’m not sure what the bird is, if it’s actually a Golden Eagle or just a Tourist Eagle (aka Buzzard). The picture is a bit older and the other pictures I have aren’t very good, so I’m struggling to judge size etc. Spotted on the west coast of the Rhinns of Islay just south of Lossit Bay.
