I had just arrived at the car park at the RSPB Gruinart reserve for a visit to the bird hide when I heard the unmistakable sound of lots of Barnacle Geese approaching. Seconds later a good number of them flew right over on the way to the flats around Loch Gruinart.

A view from the bird hide at RSPB Loch Gruinart during a November dusk. Some low flying geese (probably Barnacle Geese) just over the horizon.
