A late November afternoon at Gruinart, watching from the bird hide in the last light of the gloaming. Two Whooper Swans from a group of six resting in the mild and colourful light.
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.
