Spotted in the distance at Gruinart (hence the not great photo quality, had to crop this quite a bit), a Buzzard being mobbed by a Lapwing and a Crow (not sure what type). This went on for a while, unfortunately can’t remember how it ended.

I’m not entirely sure what this pair of Lapwings was doing, although I’m guessing it was some kind of mating ritual. Watched from the bird hide at Islay’s RSPB Loch Gruinart.

A view north west from the old hide at RSPB Gruinart. No birds immediately visible in the picture because it’s a quite wide angle, but there was plenty to see with binoculars. In the far distance just left of centre you can just spot Ben More on the Isle of Mull, the only island Munro outside of Skye.
