Geese over a field, Isle of Islay

Picture of a small group of Barnacle Geese flying above a fieldI must admit I’m not sure where on Islay I took this. I’ve got a feeling it’s somewhere in the Kilchoman/Coull area though, looking towards Saligo (I think the hill on the left might be Cnoc Mor near Coull). Anyway, a small group of Barnacle Geese over a field. And one lone Gull.

We are looking north, Kilchiaran Bay is hidden behind the high tops on the right. The northern end of Machir Bay is just visible in the distance, Coull Point to the left of it.
