If I remember correctly they were only about 2 weeks old when I took this picture. Arriving at Gruinart to visit the RSPB bird hide I was asked to wait a few minutes as they were just herding some cattle from one field to another. Which I happily did, it also gave me the opportunity to take a few pictures.
There are some Swallows nesting at the old hide at RSPB Gruinart, quite difficult to catch in flight, they are so fast. Luckily one of them decided to take a break and pose for me on a fence just outside the hide.
While most of Islay’s Bluebells can be found in and around Bridgend Woods they also plentiful in other places. These I spotted along the path to the old bird hide at RSPB Gruinart, with a Hoverfly photobombing while I was taking this picture.
