Still an amazing sight even after many years of watching them on Islay, a large number of Barnacle Geese in flight. Here seen from the old bird hide looking towards Ardnave.

A typical autumn view on Islay, Barnacle Geese feeding in the fields at Gruinart, the RSPB bird hide in the background. More geese in the air, flying past.

I don’t know if it’s the same bird I already photographed two years earlier, either Snipes in general or this particular one really seem to like the old wooden post outside the RSPB bird hide at Gruinart.
