Same as with the previous picture I’m not sure what these two lapwings were doing at Islay’s RSPB Gruinart reserve. I assume it was some kind of mating ritual, as I took the picture in April 2024.

Another view of the Robin on the Gorse at Gruinart, taken in April 2024. I like the contrast of the red feathers and yellow gorse.

Not exactly a rare bird, but still a very popular bird, the Robin. I quite like the look of it sitting on top of the yellow flowers on the Gorse.
